SOMETHING Nis

THE COSMOPOLITAN

STAMP ALBUM :

So oe ogo de oe he

This album is placed before tie Philatelic public as an entirely new
venture. It can be used either for Postage or Revenue Stamps,
or for both. The pages are ruled in perfect squares 36 to the square
inch ; herein lies its superiority. The idea is original with the publisher.
All advanced collectors have found ordinary albums with printed spaces
of little use ; such albums do not provide for shades, watermarks, perfora-
tions, &c., and experience has shown that albums with blank pages are
more desirable. It has also been found very difficult to arrange stamps
evenly and artistically in the ordinary blank album. The ruling solves
this difficulty and even the inexperienced can arrange stamps evenly
and in many beautiful designs without any trouble.

These albums are being copyrighted in Canada and the U. S.

They are printed on one side only on 6 ply card board and are
bound 50 sheets in a book in fine leather binding and sell at $5.00 each.
The cards will be supplied at 5 cts. each. Sample card sent for 5 cts.

Do not buy an album till you have examined the Cosmopolitan.

It is bound to replace all others in the estimation of advanced col-

lectors, and collectors of Oddities, Original Covers, Revenues, &c.

ADHESIVES.

AZORES (23).—M. Moens is informed that there will be a new issue of stamps, etc.,
for these islands very soon.

ARGENTINE (33).—The 1 centavo has been re-engraved. ‘The numerals are larger, the
groundwork of the stamp is composed of vertical lines and the ground around the head is
composed of horizontal lines and not crossed lines. The value ‘“‘ Un Centavo” is more
extended. Ze Timbre Poste gives October 5 as the date of issue. 1 centavo bistre.

AusTRIA (35).—The following postally used Revenues are reported by Ze Timbre Poste.
1850, 3 kreuzer, green and black; 1863, 5 kreuzer, black and grayish yellow; 1873, 5
kreuzer, green and black ; 1877, 5 kreuzer, green and black.

Lrvant.—The 20 and 50 kreuzers of the octagon type are now surcharged for use in
the Levant post offices. The original figures of value are ommitted in the two lower
angles. 2 piasters, green and black; 5 piasters, violet and black.

Bermupa.—The half-penny stamp is now printed in green and watermarked Crown
C.A. ¥% penny, green.

BHopaL (35).—The Alonthly Journa/ reports that the 8 annas is now printed in a
greenish blue shade on laid paper. ‘They have only been seen imperforate but probably
exist perforate as well. 8 anna, greenish blue; 8 anna, greenish blue, HAH; 8 anna,
greenish blue JABAN.

BRITISH GUIANA (25).—The Philatelic Record has seen a copy of the large 24 cent
stamp with the postmark Jan 23, 1867 and perforate 10. This is a much earlier date than
that usually assigned for this guaging.

British Honpuras (36)—The JZélustrirte Briefmarken Zeitung announces the 1
penny with the surcharge “1 cent” in two lines. Der Philatelist also announces the per-
manent stamp of that value. Watermark Crown, C. A., perforate 14. 1 cent on I penny,
green, black ; 1 cent, green.

BritisH NORTH BORNEO (35).—The following are the quantities issued of each of
the recent surcharges : 2 on 25 cent, 5,000 ; 8 on 25 cent, 5,000 ; 6 On 10 cent, 10,000.

DizGo Suarez (36).—The monstrosity chronicled last month has two companions :
they are for unpaid letters and have a rectangular frame like that described last month, the
side inscriptions being altered to ‘“‘Chiffre Taxe,” while the vignette is replaced by “‘5 (or 50)
centimes a percevoir 1891” in five lines in a diamond frame differing for each value.
“Poste ” occurs in each of the four interior angles. 5 centimes, violet ; 50 centimes, black.

FRENCH Conco (36).—The four stamps described last month are are made in
Marseilles for revenue only according to M. Moens.

2 THE DOMINION PHILATELIST.

Great Britain (26).—The Philatelic Journal of Great Britain reports the current
two-penny with “ Govt. Parcels” in black ; 2 pence green and red, black.

GUADELOUPE (36).—There are a few more errors to add to the list given last month, with
reversed surcharge ; 25 centimes, black on rose, with double surcharge ; 2 centimes, brown
on bistre; 25 centimes, black on rose; with GNADELOUPE, 5 centimes, green on
greenish ; with GUADELONPE, 2 centimes, brown on bistre; 5 centimes, green on
greenish ; 35 centimes, black on orange ; 1 franc, bronze on green. Of the stamps with
head of Liberty only the following quantities were issued : 30 centimes, 1050 ; 80 centimes,
750. The 5 on 1 cent is found with double surcharge. , 5 on 1 centime, black on blue.

Hawaii (35).—The new 2 cent stamp is now inuse. ‘The frame is the same as before,
the portrait of the Queen being inserted in place of that of Kalakaua. Perforate” 12s
cents, purple.

Hone Kone (30).—Our attention has been called by Wm. J. Gardener to the fact
that we have omitted to note the fact that the One Dollar and the 20 on 30 cent stamps
are found with and without the value surcharged in Chinese characters in the left hand
side label. The unsurcharged variety was issued first. 20 on 30 cents, grayish green,
black ; r dollar on 96c. brown on red, black.

InpIA (27).—The Stamp News says that the stock of remainders of the 8 annas with
small ‘Service ” surcharge is being re-issued to use them up and that the others are quite
likely to be similarly treated. The design of the 6 annas is also said to be about to be
changed.

Iraty (34).—The design of the 5 centesimi is somewhat altered. The inscriptions
are now in color on white ground, the side ornaments are six pointed stars instead of
being formed of dos dots, and the groundwork around the arms is composed of horizontal
lines in place of being solid. Watermark Crown, perforate 14, 5 centesimi, green.

Mexico (35).—Three more of the current set are known with the watermark noted a
short time since. 1 centavo, green; 2 centavo, carmine ; 5 centavo, blue.

MonTENEGRO.—The 7 novtch is now printed in rose and is perforated 12%. 7
noyvtch is now printed in rose and is perforated 121% ; 7 novtch, rose.

MozaAMBIQUE.—It is reported in Le Codlectionneur de Timbres Poste that the name of
this colony has been changed by a royal decree to the “‘ Free State of East Africa.” New
stamps will of course be required and while they are being prepared a surcharge had better
be resorted to. Don’t forget to put in a few sheets upside down.

NEGRI SEMBILAN (35).—The surcharges for the native states of Malacca have been
succeeded by stamps of a new design. ‘The frame is similar to the Seychelles, etc., but
instead of the bust of Victoria there is a picture of a tiger emerging from the jungle. The
The name in the top label is given S. N. Sembilan. Watermark Crown C. A., perforate

NETHERLANDS (35).—The new stamps are rapidly coming into use. We are informed
that all except the 71% cent and the two high values are now on sale. The two latter will
most likely be of a new design it is:said. The new value, 3 cents, will be of the portrait
and not the numeral type. so cents, carmine; 12% cents, gray ; 15 cents, brown; 20
cents, green ; 221% cent, blue green ; 25 cents, violet ; 50 cents, bistre.

New ZEALAND (29).—The Monthly Journal has seen a copy of the 1 penny of the
original type printed in brown and watermarked “N. Z.” and perforated 13. Also a copy
of the 1 penny of 1874 perforate ro at the top and 12% on the other three sides.

Nosst BE (35).—The unpaid letter stamps have again run low and the surcharge hag
once more been resorted to in order that the speculators may make a little more before
the new stamps go into use. The words “ Chiffre taxe” has been omitted this time but
the two varieties of type in the same are retained. The numerals of value are followed by

c., instead of being expressed decimally as before. They are printed by tens upon two
horizontal ranges, one of each type. Of the two lower values there were 1000 of each printed
and 1300 of the others. 5 cents on 20c., red on green ; ro cents on r5c., blue ;-15 cents on
tc., black on violet ; 25c. on 5c., green on greenish.

PAHANG (35).—Three new stamps of the same type as the Negri Sembilan described
this month have been issued. Perforate 14, watermark Crown C. A. 1 cent, green; 2
cent, rose; 5 cent blue.

PERAK (34).—The same remark applies to this State also. 1 cent, green ; 2 cent, rose ;

arcent, blue,
_ Prince Epwarp Istanp,—We have received from Frank M. Goss. a_ provisional
which we think has never been listed before. It:is the 2 penny stamp cut in half and used
in connection with the half of a 4 penny to make up the 3 penny rate. ‘The cover is post-
marked at Summerside, October 25 (1870) and is probably unique. It will probably be
placed in one of Rogers’ sales we are informed.

REUNION (35).—Two provisionals are reported on the 20 cent with name surcharged.
The new value is given below the oblique surcharge in small figures. 0.02 on 20 cent, red
on green ; 2c. on 20 cent, red on green ; 15c. on 20 cent, red on green. Numerous errors
of these and the other stamps are reported. We will await fuller returns before listing
‘them.
SAINT PIERRE—MIQUELON (31).—The current stamps have received the surcharge
“St. Pierre M-on,” in small capitals obliquely printed in red or black. Black surcharge
reading from the lower left corner to the upper right. 1 centime, black on blue; 2 cen-
time, brown on bistre ; 4 centime violet on blue ; 5 centime, green on greenish; ro cen-
time, black on violet ; 15 centime, blue on bluish ; 20 centime, red on green ; 25 centime,
black on rose ; 30 centime, brown ; 35 centime, black on orange ; 40 centime, vermilion on

surcharge as above. 1 centime, black on blue ; 2 centime, brown on bistre; ro centime,
black on violet.

Crown, C. A., perforate 14. 1 cent, green ; 2 cent, rose; 5 cent, blue.

SWEDEN (33).—The 30 ore of the new type is in use we are informed by several cor-
respondents. Watermark Crown, perf. 14 ; 30 ore brown,

Srrairs SETTLEMENT.—We have received from C. F. Rothfuchs a 24 cent stamp wi
the surcharge “ro cents” in small capital letters across the head and with the old value
obliterated by a line. The stamp was used. 10 cents on 24c. green; black. The 30
cents with Crown C.A., waterrnark is now in use. Perforate 14, 30 cents, claret.

Suncet Uyone (34).—The stamps are now of the new type as described under
Negri Sembilan. Watermark Crown C. A., perforate 14. 1 cent, green; 2 cent, rose,
5 cent blue.

‘TURKEY (35).—The intention was to issue the new stamps March rst., but the stock
of the present issue is running so low that they are to be issued very shortly, M. Moens is
informed. The 20 paras will be rose and the 1 piastar blue. The unpaid letter stamps
will be of the same design but will be printed in black. ‘The office at Galata having run
out of 10 para “ Imprime” stamps has been permitted to cut the 20 paras in half for tem-
porary use.

Urucuay (36).—The provisional 5 cent stamp of r8gr has been surcharged for official
use. Official, 5 centesimos, violet, red and black. Only 500 of these were printed so
some of us must do without

4 THE DOMINION PHILATELIST.

WESTERN AusTRALIA (23).—The following revenue stamps which are formed by sur-
charging the postage stamps with the “I. R.” and crossing out “ Postage” are reported to
have been used postally. The 1 shilling is Crown C. C. watermark, the others Crown C. A,
4 pence, red, black ; 6 pence, mauve, black ; 1 shilling, green, black.

ZULULAND (36).—The Monthly Journal reports a couple of high value Natal revenues
that have done postal duty from this colony. They are surcharged like the 1 penny noted
a short time since. Watermark Crown C. A., perforate 14. 5 shillings, lilac and carmine,
black ; 9 shillings, lilac and carmine, black.

ENVELOPES.

BaRBADOES (34).—The //ustrirte Briefmarken Zeitung announces a 2 penny registra-
tion envelope size 225x190. ‘This is probably a misprint, for there is no such size known
in the Colonial envelopes. The 190 should probably be roo which would agree with the
dimensions of size H.

FRENCH CoLonies.—Three new envelopes have been issued just in time to be sur-
charged by all the Colonies. The J/onthzy Journal quotes as of the usual type, the sizes or
paper forming the new variety. 5 centimes, green on white, 125 x 76mm. _ 15 centimes,
blue on greenish, 125 x 76mm. ; 15 centimes, blue on greenish, 147 x 124mm.

NETHERLANDS.—The stamp with Queen Wilhelmine’s portrait is now impressed on,
the envelove. Size 150x82mm. 3 cents, blue on white.

New Zearanp.—The Monthly Journal has “received the registration envelope with
the original value obliterated by a curved bar, and THREE PENCE in Roman capitals
surcharged just above this.” We were not aware that New Zealand had a registration
envelope to surcharge. Is there not a mistake about this, or is it an envelope which
was prepared before the rates were lowered, 3 pence on 4 pence, rose ; black.

POST CAS:

Curacao (23).—The reply card now has the stamp of the numeral type according to
the Revnue Philateligue. 5x5 cents, carmine on rose.

DenMaRK.—The Monthly Journal reports a reply card with small numerals on the
card for the answer. Those on the first half are of the ordinary type. 5x5 ore., green.

GERMANY (36).—George H. Watson sends us news of a lot more of varieties of the
curment cards: 5 plennig; sree). Som byte oon iki.) TOOM os aa

LIBERIA (31).—It appears that we were right in supposing that the portrait on the
cards and envelopes was that of the President. ‘The late Postmaster General writes the
Monthly Journal that they were ordered by him from America, but the portrait was
so poor that on their arrival they were not uncased, and that they were so turned over to
his successor. Philatelists may be at the bottom of their finally being issued.

New ZEALAND (34).—The Philatelic Record describes a couple of official cards with-
out stamps or indicated value. One is for post office business only and the other for the
* Colonial and Foreign Parcel Post. The first is in black on white and the second black
on buff. A
VicToRIA (20).—The change in rates has rendered a new value necessary. The 2
penny has been surcharged “Universal Postal Union” at the top and the inscription
“for the United Kingdom by the long sea route,” has been erased by two bars. On the
stamp is the new value in tall thin figures, with the old value erased. 14 penny violet ; red.
A reply card being necessary the 1x1 penny has been surcharged ‘“ Universal Postal
Union ” below “ Post Card” and as above on the stamp. 1x1} p. on 1x1p. violet; red.

LETTER CARDS.

Monaco.—The 15 centimo card now bears the stamp with the head of Prince Albert.
15 centimes, carmine on gray.

THE DOMINION PHILATELIST. 5
TELEGRAPHS.

CoLompiA.—Three new stamps are illustrated by Ze Zimdre Poste. ‘The 5 cent has
“Republica de Colombia Telegrafos Nacionales Cinco Centavos ” in three lines diagonally
from the upper left corner to the lower right. In the upper right corner is the coat of
arms of the Republic, and in the lower left the numeral of value in an oval inscribed
““centavoc.” 5 centavos, vermilion. The second value has the arms im a circle inscribed
“ Telegrafos Nacionales” in two lines at top, “Republican ” at left, ‘“de Colombia ” at
right, “ Veinte Centavos” in two lines below, between numerals of value in circles. 30
centavos, blue.

POST CARDS.

Canapa.—H. F. Ketcheson sends us the 1 cent card in a very light skim milk shade
of blue. It is printed very close to the top of the card, and we have also received one
of the ordinary shade of blue printed in the same way.

Unitep States (34).—The new post cards were issued to the public December 23.
They bear on the right upper corner a portrait of General Grant in an oval, partially
encircled with a couple of olive branches. At the left of the portrait in three lines is
“Postal Card One Cent,” “‘ United States of America,” “This side is for address only.”
The style of type varies somewhat to suit the sizes of the cards, as does also the orna-
mentation around the central line of the inscription. 1 cent blue on white ; 118x75mm 1 c-

black on buff; 156x95mm. The design of the current size will not be changed at present.

CeAkK Ss, AUCTION:

On the afternoon of New Year’s day Mr. T. S. Clark, of Belleville, Ont., held
an auction sale of stamps at St. Lawrence Hall, Montreal. The attendance was
not as large was expected but the prices realized for the lots sold show that good

I am publishingthis month a list of the present membership, with addresses
of the same. Sould there be any errors in addresses, I will esteem it a favor if
members will notify me as it is proposed to print the list in pamphlet form. It
is a matter for regret that some members have resigned but if the remaining
members will stand by the officers and do some missionary work there is no
reason why we should not make considerable headway. The American members
need not fear to get recruits as our exchange books will reach them as regularly
as they reach Canadian members.

I invite your attention to the following statements :

H. F. KETCHESON, PETERBOROUGH, ONT.

On December 7th the two well-known firms of R. R. Bogert & Co., of New
York, and Durbin & Hanes, of Philadelphia, incorporated under the law of the
State of New Jersey, as one firm with the name of Bogert & Durban Co. The
incorporators are R. R. Bogert, Arthur Tuttle and F. W. Hunter. The officers«
of the new company have not yet been chosen, as business under the new name
will not begin until January rst. The concern will run two branches, that in
Philadelphia being in charge of Messrs. Hanes and Tuttle, and the New York
branch under the direction of Messrs. Bogart and W. F. Gregory. Auction
sales will be held in both New York and Philadelphia, and it will be surprising
if the Quaker City does not soon show some new life in things Philatelic. The
firms are two of the largest in the business, and the present capital is the largest
of any firm dealing exclusively in stamps, in the United States, while the
stock of the two companies combined will compare favorably with any in exis-
tence. The two papers published by the two different companies, the P/z/atelic
Monthly and World will no doubt be merged in one. The capital is $75,000,
—Post Office.

IN spite of all the obituaries that have been written announcing the death and
burial of the C.P.A., it still lives, and from all we can learn it is likely to live for
many years to come. The membership is now in the neighborhood of one
hundred and many enquiries are being made by collectors from every part of
this continent for information regarding it. All the useless and rotten timber
has been weeded out, and only the good sound and substantial material is left.
eyeneate not already a member write the Secretary, Mr. T: S..Clarke,; of
Belleville, Ont., for an application.

Or all the holiday greetings received by us there were none with which we
Wwerel’more pleased than‘ that received from the Trustees of the C. P.. A. at
Quebec.. It consisted of a dainty white card, in the centre of which was an
unused Canada % cent stamp; on each side the names of the officers of the
Association, and at the bottom “The Trustees present their compliments and
‘best wishes for Xmas and the New Year,’ and then below, the names of the
Trustees. Judging from this beautiful card we would say that the Trustees of
the C. P. A. are still living.

10 THE DOMINION PHILATELIST.

A MEETING of the officers of the Canadian Philatelic Association was held
in Montreal on New Year’s day which was attended by the following: C. E
Cameron, President ; T. S. Clark, Secretary-Treasurer ; A. E, Labelle, Librarian ;
Ernest F, Wurtele, Chairman of Trustees, and H. F. Ketcheson, Exchange
Superintendent. Matters of importance to the welfare of the Association were
discussed. Reports from all quarters show a steady growth of the Society.

Mr. ERNEST F. WURTELE, of Quebec, is the owner of one of the rarest if
not the rarest Canadian Revenue Stamp in existence. It is the $2.00 third issue
Bill with inverted head. Mr. Wurtele informed us that a Quebec collector had a
whole sheet unused some years ago but did not consider them of any special
value, giving some of them away to his friends and selling the balance to a
dealer for a very small sum.

WE have to thank the Chicago Philatelic Society for the following invitation
which was received by us a few days ago, ‘ Your presence is requested at a
banquet commemorating the 6th installation of officers of the Chicago Philatelic
Society at the Grand Pacific Hotel, Thursday, January 7th, at eight p.m. We
regret very much that time and distance would not permit us to join the Chicago
boys at their annual dinner.

Mr. H. F. KETCHESON’S new album, known as the Cosmopolitan, is now
ready for delivery, and is pronounced by all who have seen it by far the best
album for advanced collectors and specialists ever used, Send 5c. and
receive a sample page of same, and see for yourself. It is printed on six ply

card board and finely bound in leather, price $5.00. Address, H. F. KETCHESON,
Belleville, Ont.

AT the First Annual Meeting of the Boston Philatelic Society the following
officers were duly elected: Willard VanDerlip, President ; S, R. Sircom, Vice-
President; L.'L,.. Green, Treasurer; C.. W. 1. Stromeman: Seerctame hie
Woodward, J. M. Goss, Charles J. Barton, T. P. Richardson, Charles J. Thayer
The last eight named composing the Governing Committee.

WE are glad to see that so many of the Philatelic papers approve of the
steps we have taken in increasing our subscription price. While we have doubled
the price of our paper we intend to make it twice as interesting this year as last,
and feel certain that we will be able to give good value for the money asked.

SOME person kindly forwarded us a programme of a concert given by the
New York University Glee Club, on the evening of Dec. 17. Among
other names we noticed that of J. M. Holt, of Brooklyn. N. Y., who is well
known in stamp circles, as one of the members of this club.

THE stamp on the one cent postal card (now in use in Canada) has been
changed somewhat recently. The old die has been re-engraved, and some of
the ornaments around the sides of the figure have been lopped off. It now
resembles the card in use two years ago.

Mr. C. B. Corwin has again been elected President of the Philatelic Society,
of New York. We also understand he intends soon to make a tour of South
America, and will, no doubt, be able to unearth many rarities and novelties in
that quarter’of the globe.

.

THE DOMINION PHILATELIST. Il

' WE have received the catalogue of the S. B. Bradt & Co.’s 4th auction sale,
which is to be held January 20th. A new feature of these sales is that the
stamps will be on exhibition for several days in New York previous to being sold.

INCORPORATION of Philatelic Societies seems to be the order of the day.
We have been informed that the Philatelic Society of New York has taken steps
to secure incorporation.

THE design of the Canada One Cent Wrapper has been changed and is now
the same design as the Post Card. This change has we believe been effected by
the re-cutting of the die.

WE understand that the franking privilege which for many years has been
accorded the civil service of Canada, has been withdrawn at the beginning of

this year.

RE. PHOTOGRAPH OF OFFICERS CANADIA PHILATELICG
ASSOCIATION.

— - OUBBEC, Fax. 7, 1892.

As I have not received replies from all the officers I have concluded to take
no further action in the matte, I suggested the idea with the intention of carry-
ing it out, only if all the officers approved of same,

THE DOMINION PHILATELIST.

fae sold APRICAN PHILATELIC SOCIETY.

On a letter I received from a member of the above society, and who resides
in Cape Town, was a label, circular in form, and a little larger than a Canadian
ten cent coin. Around the outer circle was printed in gilt letters, ‘“ member
Soimeiiican Mhilatelic Society,’ and in the centre the monogram “S.A. P.S.”
printed in gilt on a red back ground, the whole presenting a neat appearance.
The label was used on the back of the envelope as a seal. I hope to have
further news concerning this Society at a future date.

PETERBOROUGH, ONT., CANADA.

THE DOMINION PHILATELIST.

SOMETHING NEW

THE COSMOPOLITAN

* STAMP ALBUM :

x aaa: alin adn: ble or vost 3

This album is placed before the Philatelic public as an entirely new
venture. It can be used either for \Postage or; Revenue Stamps
or for both. The pages are ruled in perfect squares 36 to the square
inch ; herein lies its superiority. The idea is original with the publisher.
All advanced collectors have found ordinary albums with printed spaces
of little use ; such albums do not provide for shades, watermarks, perfora-
tions, &c., and experience has shown that albums with blank pages are
more desirable. It has also been found very difficult to arrange stamps
evenly and artistically in the ordinary blank album. The ruling solves
this difficulty and even the inexperienced can arrange stamps evenly
and in many beautiful designs without any trouble.

These albums are being copyrighted in Canada and the U. S.

They are printed on one side only on 6 ply card board and are
bound 50 sheets in a book in fine leather binding and sell at $5.00 each.
The cards will be supplied at 5 cts. each. Sample card sent for 5 cts.

Do not buy an album till you have examined the Cosmopolitan.

It is bound to replace all others in the estimation of advanced col-
lectors, and collectors of Oddities, Original Covers, Revenues, &c.

Conducted by William C. Stone, Springfield, Mass., to whom all infoimation
respecting new tssues etc., should be sent.

The figures in parenthesis after the names of the countries refer to the number of this paper containing the last

are on white wove paper. All post cards unless otherwise stated are on buff cardboard.

ADHESIVES.

AFGHANISTAN (34)—According to L’Ami des Timbres the current types have been
re-engraved, but we also understand that new forgeries of the present series have made
their appearance ‘and it may be possible that these are the stamps alluded to by that journal.

ARGENTINE (37).—The Revue Philatelique describes a new high value of the denom-
ination of 10 pesos. Portrait of General Lopez to left in an oval inscribed “ Republica
Argentina” ; above, ‘“ Correos y Telegrafos ” ; below, a dollar mark $ in a diamond with
To in small circles on either side ; below this “ Diez pesos.” The stamp was printed in
black on white card and was probably a proof.

Bamra (35).—The Monthly Journal reports the existence of a 4 annas lilac of the
1890 series in blocks of 20, and the same value on red in the 16 variety issue. ‘The
usual errors are on hand as usual. 4 annas, block on lilac; 4 annas, black on red.

BritisH BECHUANALAND (29)—The Stamp News announces the approaching issue of
a new set, being the current English stamps, surcharged in two lines of small block type.
I penny, lilac, 4/ack; 2 penny, green and rose, //ack; 4 penny, brown and green; 6
penny, purple on red.

British East AFrica (35).—There are unperforated varieties of several values of
this series, but we take little stock in them as they are probably merely unfinished sheets
that some one has obtained for a consideration.

BritisH SouTH AFRICA (29)—There is a new value of the current type. 3 pence,
grey and green.

Curacao (35).—Le Timbre Poste says that the 50 cent has been outraged in the same
manner as the 30 cent in being surcharged 25 cent. ‘This surcharge was noted some time
since, but was denied. Has it turned out to be genuine or has M. Moens just heard of
the rumor.

Ecuapor.—The latest dependency of the all conquering Seebeck is this Republic.
The stamps for 1892 bear a portrait of Juan Jose Flores, the founder of the Republic and
father of the present President, Antonio Flores. Above the portrait which is in an oval
is “Correos y Telegrafos Ecuador” in two lines. At the bottom the value in words with
“U.P.U., 1892,” in a small curved label between it and the oval frame of the portrait.
Perforate 12. 1 centavo, orange; 2 centavos, brown; 5 centavos, vermilion ; Io centavos,

‘green ; 20 centavos, dark brown ; 50 centavos, maroon; 1 sucre, blue; 5 sucre, purple.

From the same dies have been printed a series in light blue, with the words “ Franqueo
Oficial,” in red surcharged across the top. 1 centavo, blue and red ; 2 centavos, blue and

16 THE DOMINION PHILATELIST.

red ; 5 centavos, blue and red; 10 centavos, blue and red; 20 centavos, blue and red ;
50 centavos, blue and red ; 1 sucre, blue and red.

Ecypr (25) —Earl Brothers send us the new value of 3 milliemnes. The design 1s
unchanged and the watermark and perforations are the same as the rest Of the Sci 5
milliemes, dark claret.

InpiA (37)—The Stamp Mews announces a new rf rupee stamp of a design quite
similar to the current ro penny Great Britian, with the centre in green and 1 R in the
corners. Perforation and watermark like the rest of the set. 1 rupee, carmine and green.
The /lustrirte Briefmarken Journal says that the 4 annas has been surcharged 2% As.,
like the 4.a.6p. 2% annas on 4 .,, olive ; d/ack.

JouHoRE (34).—We are informed by S. E. Gwyer that the new stamps for this state
were issued November 16, and that they are similar in design to the current Sarawak and
Siamese stamps. From another source we learn that they bear the portrait of the rajah.
_ The values, etc., are as follows: 2 cents, violet and yellow ; 4 cents, violet and black ;

5 cents, violet and green: 6 cents, lilac and blue: 1 dollar, green and rose.

Nicaracua (27).—The new stamps for this Republic are so pretty and appropriate that
we are almost tempted to take back the hard things we have said about the annual issues
of the Hamilton Bank Note Company’s dependencies. In the centre is a picture representing
Columbus on the deck of his ship pointing out the land to the ship’s company. Above is
“ Correos Republica de,” and below “Nicaragua.” In the upper corners are “ U. P. U.”
and the date “1892” while the lower corners are occupied with the numerals of value
with “centavos” between. Perforate 12. 1 centavo, yellow brown; 2 centavos, red ; 5
centavos, blue ; 10 centavos, slate; 20 centavos, carmine ; 50 centavos, purple ; I peso,
brown; 2 peso, green ; 5 peso, carmine ; Io peso, orange. To supply the usual official
set these values have been uniformly printed in light brown and surcharged “‘ Franqueo
Oficial” across the top. 1 centavo, brown and blue; 2 centavos, brown and blue; 5
centavos, brewn and blue; 10 centavos, brown and blue ; 20 centavos, brown and blue ;
50 centavos, brown and. blue; 1 peso, brown and blue; 2 pesos, brown and blue; 5
pesos, brown and blue; ro pesos, brown and blue.

ORANGE FREE STATE (31).—The following telegraph stamps are said to have been
postally used. ‘‘ Tele-graaf” on postage stamps, 1 penny, red brown, 4/we violet ; 6 penny,
rose, blue violet. ‘'Tele-graaf,” on fiscal stamps, 1 shilling, brown, 4/we violet ; 1 shilling,
gray blue, d/ve violet. “ 'T.F.,” on postage stamps, 1 penny, red brown, Zack ; 6 penny,
rose, black; 1 shilling, orange, 0/ack ; 1 shilling orange, d/ack. ‘'T.F.,” on fiscal stamp,
1 shilling on 7 sh., violet, 0ack.

PerrsIA (14).—A new set of stamps was issued to the public on the 28th of November.
The values in shahis have the lion and sun in the center with the Shah’s head (dress in a
tre foil from above) ; below is a persian inscription in an oblong label with ‘‘ Poste Persane”
below it: below this is the value in Persian at the left and “()Ch,” at the right with a small
circular ornament between. In the upper corners are the values repeated but the Parsian
is at the right and the European at the left in small circles. Perforate 11%. 1 shahi,
black ; 2 shahi, bistre ; 5 shahi, dark blue ; 7 shahi, grey lilac ; 10 shahi, carmine, 14 shahi,

. orange... There are besides three higher values with a different design. In the center is
the well known portrait of Nasr-ed-din, in an irregular oval with an inscription in Persian
above in an oblong label and ‘“‘ Poste Persane” below. The values are in the interior
angles and are in both Persian and European characters. Perf. 1114. 1 kran, bright green ;
2 kran, pale orange ; 5 kran, pale yellow.

Puerto Rico (36).—The color of the 10 centimos has also been changed. 10 cent
de peso, rose.

THE DOMINION PHILATELIST. iil)

Russia (25).—Ze Timbre Poste says that the 7% roubles with the thunderbolts has
only been in use for about a month. We noted it last January but it seems that our in-
formation was a little previous. 71% roubles, yéllow and black. The Stamp News reports
that an entirely new set was tu be issued last month.

SAINT PIERRE-MIQUELON (37).—Three more provisionals have been issued as a kind
of parting gift we suppose. They are all inscribed “St. Pierre M.-on” and “r (2,4) Cent’
im black. 1 cent on 5c., green, d/ack; 2 cent on toc., black on lilac, d/ack; 4 cent on
2oc., red on green, d/ack. The usual official decree authorizing these stamps was dated
November 24, 1891.

SAINT VINCENT.—It is reported that the 214 penny stamp is now manufactured by
surcharging the 4 penny. 24 penny on 4 p. brown, dlachk.

SALVADOR (35).—The stamps for 1892 are most appropriate for the Columbian
celebration. As those of Nicaragua have the great navigator discovering the New World
the landing is a fitting scene to be depicted on the issues of this sister republic. The
picture is somewhat similar to that on the 1869 issue of the United States but the group-
ing is a little different. Above the picture is “Servicio Postal del Salvador” in two lines.
At the sides “America Central” on scrolls ; numerals in lower corners, value in words and
date between. Perforate 12, 1 centavo, green ; 2 centavo, brown ; 3 centavo, ultramarine ;
5 centavo, gray; 10 centavo, vermilion; 11 centavo, brown; 20 centavo, orange; 25
centavo, maroon ; 50 centavo, yellow ; 1 peso, carmine.

SWEDEN (57).—Just after mailing our last copy we learned of the issue of the 50 ore
of the new type. Watermark and perforation as tie rest, 50 ore, grey.

SuRINAM (36).—Two more values of the unpaid letter stamps are reported. 24 cent
lilac and black ; 5 cent, lilac and black.

ENVELOPES.

British SourH Arrica.—Registration envelopes are promised im the near future of a
very fancy design.

Care or Goop Hopr.—Among a lot of registration envelopes recently received by us
from Port Elizabeth was one of which we find no mention in any catalogue. It is of the
second type (R without oval) in size H. 2 pence, blue, 200x127 mm.

Ecuapor (30).—Senor Flore’s bust appears in an oval on the envelopes. Above the
bust in the engine turned frame is “ Correos del Ecuador”; below is the value in words
and “U.P.U. 1892,” while the numerals of value are found in small ovals at the sides
The whole oval is superimposed upon a rectangular frame somewhat smaller than itself.
Both are 152x90 mm. _5 centavos, red on white ; 10 centavos, green on amber.

Great Britain (36).—We have received from Frank H. Burt size G of the registered
envelope with the new regulations regarding insurance pasted over the old ones on the
back of the envelope. 2 pence, blue, 150x98 mm.

GrEECE.—The American Journal of Philately give the following ,as the values and
colors of the envelopes. to lepta, orange ; 20 lepta, carmine ; 25 lepta, blue ; 40 lepta, violet

LEEWARD IsLaNnpDs (29).—By an oversight we have not noted these registration
envelopes although we have had one size for some months. Head of Victoria to left in
circle: “‘ Leeward Islands Registration Two Pence” in white letters around the outside.
2 pence, blue, 152x98 mm ; 2 pence blue, 227x100 mm. '

New SoutH WALES (15).—It is this colony and not New Zealand that has surcharged
its registration envelope. The A/onthly Journad is responsible for the erroneous statement
which many other papers swallowed without taking the trouble to think that New Zealand
never had any envelopes to surcharge. Vindin’s Philatelic Monthly gives these four
varieties. Thin block letters, no bar over old value ; 4 pence, rose, black, 132x82 mm.;

18 TILE DOMINION PHILATELIST.

4 pence, rose, black, 1s0xg8 mm. Value in French capitals, curved bar over old value.
4 pence, tose, black, 132x82 mm.; 4 pence rose, black, 150x98 mm.

Nicaracua (33).—The new envelopes bear the same view as the adhesives. It is in
an oblong oval with numerals of value in small ovals at either side. ‘Corres Republica
de” in two lines above, ‘‘ Nicaragua () Centavos ()” in two lines below. There is a
scalloped frame around the whole. 5 cent, blue on salmon, 152x90 mm.; 10 cent, slate on

WE have carefully read over the Declaration of Incorporation of the Philatelic

Society of Canada and must say we are very much disappointed with the

manner in which this society is incorporated. Here is what the judge who signed
the paper says: ‘‘ The within declaration appears to be in conformity with the
act, and this certificate is given by me in pursuance of the said Act and the
provisions thereof.’ The incorporation is merely a local affair. All the officers
must reside inthe Province of Ontario. The Act under which it is incorporated
was intended for the purpose of incorporating agricultural societies, school
sections, etc. Better have no incorporation at all than a one horse affair like this,

LIBRARIAN’S REPORT.

I have much pleasure in placing before the members, a list of the publications
now in the library, and which number about 1,400 pieces; of course, I do not
include in this the duplicates and price lists (about 2,200 pieces) which I will put
up at auction at an early date.

I will call the attention of the members to the fact that we possess very few
Canadian publications, which is very unfortunate, as we certainly should have
most of them, Members can now see what we have, and within a short time
I should receive a lot for the library, especially those wanting to complete vol-
umes, as should the auction sale bring in enough, we will get the best of them
bound, which would be a great improvement.

The library is now at the disposition of the members, who can get any of the
books or volumes by sending 5c to pay postage, and promise to return same
within ten (10) days, Those not known to me will have to send satisfactory
references.

I beg to acknowledge with thanks, the receipt of the following :—-Dr. C. E,
ameron,.33 pieces ; Capt. bP Wurtele,s5 pieces; I. S. Clark, priced calalogue
of auction sale of Jan. Ist; Essex Co. Philatelist, Dec. No.

FOSTAL INFORMATION.

Compiled from the most authentic sources. London postal araangements.

For the purpose of facilitating the collection and delivery of letters, the
metropolis is divided into eight districts marked: East Central (E, C.), Eastern
(es) Warthern (N.); North-Western (N. W.), South Eastern (S. E.), South
Western (S. W.), Western (W.), West Central (W. C.) Of these the E. C., com-
prising the whole of the city; the W. C., the district between Temple Bar and
Charing Cross, and the S. W., containing nearly all the Government Offices, are
the most important. By appending the initials the sorting of letters is facilitated
and frequently two or more hours saved in the delivery.

STAMPS, ENVELOPES, ETc.—The perforation of stamps with “initials ” is
recommended, and the same of newspaper wrappers, post cards, and embossed
envelopes is not objected to. Stamps perforated otherwise than with initials,
embossed stamps, or stamps cut from wrappers or post cards, are not available

for postage.

THOSE outside of the trade have no idea of the enormous profits made by
stamp dealers. The following is an instance: About three months ago we
were asked by a stamp firm in the Province of Quebec (with a long and rather
difficult name to pronounce) to send them a consignment on approval. This we
did, and some days later received another letter asking to forward some sheets
at once, as the first lot were selling fast. We immediately sent on another con-
signment. A day or two ago we received sheets back, and from them had been
taken stamps to the amount of 11 cents. Commission had been deducted at
the rate of 50 per cent. leaving us a balance of 6 cents, but we were to be disap-
pointed in receiving even this amount for it had been deducted for postage, and
this was not all, along with the sheets was an order for supplies amounting to
$1.90, which we were to forward with the understanding that the firm was to
have six months time to pay for same. Anyone who says there is not money
in the stamp business does not know much about it.

AT last the Philatelic Societies of London are awakening ‘o the fact that
wholesale counterfeiting of stamps has been going on in their midst, and they
are now taking steps {o check it. Several of the counterfeitors have already
been arrested, among others Messrs. Benjamin, Sarpy and Jeffryes. Mr.
Benjamin was pretty well known on this side the herring pond. we having made
his acquaintance while in New York last August. He had been in that city
several weeks exhibiting some very fine forgeries, among others his celebrated
Sydney views. We trust these gentlemen will receive the punishment which
they richly deserve,

THE DOMINION PHILATELIST. 27

IN the year 1006 some soldiers of the commonwealth of Modena ran away
with a bucket from a public well belonging to the state of Bologna. The
bucket, which probably was not worth more than a shilling, produced a quarrel
which was worked up into along and bloody war Henry, king of Sardinia,
assisted the Modenese to keep possession of this bucket, and in one of the
battles he was made a prisoner. His father, the emperor of Germany—Henry
II the Holy—offered a chain of gold that would encircle Bologna, which was
seven miles in circuit, but in vain. After twenty-two years’ imprisonment he
pined away and died, and his monument may still be seen in the Church of the
Dominicans. The fatal bucket, the cause of the war, is still on exhibition in the
tower of the cathedral at Modena, inclosed in an iron cage. Both Bologna and
Modena were in 1860 incorporated in Italy.—London Tit-Bits.

HENNIKER HEATON, M.P., the postal reformer, with two friends, an Aus-
tralian millionare and an English capitalist—has offered to guarantee the British
Government against all loss if a penny postage be established between the
English speaking peoples of the British Empire and the United States of Am-
erica. The probable loss was estimated by Mr. Goshen himself at 475,000
per annum, but Mr. Heaton maintains that the loss would not extend over more
than three years, and that after that ocean penny postage would make a profit,
as has been the case with the inland penny postage. Mr. Goschen has just com-
municated his reply to Mr. Heaton’s offer, in which he says that for a variety of
reasons the Government cannot see its way to accept the offer. Mr. Heaton
will bring the matter before parliament in a very short time.—Zovronto World.

MR. GRENNY, the late Exchange Superintendent informs us that he is doing
his best to straighten up the accounts. The trouble is a lot of nine books that
were sent out by him ona circuit over a year ago, have not yet been returned.
As soon as he can get possession of these books he will be able to return all
sheets and send out complete statements to every one interested.

Mr. H. F. KETCHESON is now engaged in preparing the copy for the 3rd
edition of his postage and revenue catalogue of Canada Stamps. It will be the
most complete catalogue of these stamps ever issued. It will be ready for de-
livery about April 1st. Ihe price will be, as formerly, 25 cents. Orders may be
sent in now and catalogue will be mailed as soon as they are ready.

The Philatelic Fournal of Great Britain for January received, and we must
say that it is by far the best of our exchanges, also the Philatelic Review of
Reviews. This is a new venture which we are sure will be appreciated by philatelic
publishers in general. Mr. Brown certainly shows a great deal of enterprise and
deserves the support of collectors and dealers.

PREMIER ABBOTT has at last completed the re-construction of his Cabinet.
Hon. John Haggart, late Postmaster General, has taken the department of Rail-
ways and Canals, and Sir A. P. Caron, late Minister of Militia, has been appoint-
ed Postmaster General.

Mr. C. WESLY PRICE called at our office a few days ago, but we were out.
We were very sorry as Mr. Price is an old friend, and we would have very much
enjoyed a few hours chat with him,

WE notice in Vindin's Philatelic Monthly that the editor Mr. D. A. Vindin is
on his way to Europe. He intends visiting all the large cities of Great Britain
and the continent, and also intends paying a visit to Canada and the United
States. We hope ere many months roll by to have the pleasure of meeting
Mr. Vindin.

IN our December number we published an exchange notice which was sent us
as we supposed by Russell McLean, Pictcu, N.S. Mr. McLean has informed
us that this notice was not sent by him, but by some person wishing to do him
an injury. We are sorry but it was not our fault.

CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY, COMPANY'S TELEGRAL EH:

QUEBEC, February 1, 1892.

The above Company have issued a new frank for the year 1892, with the
exception of the date they are similar in every respect to the former issues
Regarding these stamps it may prove interesting to have further information
about them, and I am enabled to give the following: They are issued in books
with 20 and 40 in them, that is the smaller books have five blocks of four and
the larger ones ten.

The books are 4 inches in length and 2% inches in width, are very neatly
engraved on the cover and printed instructions on the back. The color of the
printing on the books ischanged each year. The reading on the cover is as fol-

lows: “Canadian Pacific Ry Cos Telegraph will transmit messages free
signed by 1892 and
answers thereto between points mentioned on back
hereof until December 31st. See conditions

on back, 1892, No.

Manager Telegraphs.

On the back is printed the following conditions: The stamps herewith
cover only the personal telegram of the holder and do not apply to business or
political communications ; they are not to be loaned to or used by any other
than the person to whom issued. A stamp must be affixed to every telegram of
20 words or less, and an additional stamp for each additional 20 words ar
fraction thereof. Answers may be franked by affixing the necessary stamps as
above, The holder of this book of stamps, by accepting and using it, agrees

THE DOMINION PHILATELIST. 29

that the Telegraph Company shall not be liable for damages, whether from
negligence of its agents or from any other cause. N. B.—The person accepting
this frank assumes all risks. Good for telegrams exchange between

Printed by the British American Bank Note Co., Montreal.

The following are a couple of samples of some of the letters I have received
from foreign correspondents. No doubt many othersare in possession of letters
somewhat similar. One from Belgium written in December last, reads:

Sir,—With a view to form a connection with a person of your town for the
exchange of postage and surcharge stamps, post cards, bands and envelopes,
obliterated, I beg to address me to your obligingness in order to obtain, if that is
possible,some pieces of different issues appeared in your land, and the surround-
ing states. i shall forward you in return these of Belgium and other countries of
Europe at your choice. In case you cannot satisfy my ask please to hand it to
one of your colleagues, or any collector of your locality. I thank you before-
hand, and beg you to accept, sir, my best compliments. Respectfully yours.

One from New South Wales reads:

Will I sell buy forgeins, old stamps, colonies of N.S. Wales I, I, 22, 33, 44, 66
it); Queensland 1, 2, 4, 6, 1/; New Zealand, few ; Great British 1/21, 2, 4,6

I will exchange old stamps for stamps Canada 1/2, 20, 29, 40 cents few, very
old United States 40, 100 cents few, all things, colonies, all things, etc., putting in
the old stamps with my envelope address by post. I would like to ask to you
know wants more forgeins old stamps very old issue all things colour very nice,
when “I will send more forgeins old stamps you first also you will get answer
returning by mail.

I am obedients.

A request was sent for fuller information in connection with the stamps

wanted, and the reply thereto was even more of a puzzle.

SOMETHING N hve

THE COSMOPOLITAN

‘STAMP ALBUM +

This album is placed before the Philatelic public as an entirely new
venture. It can’ be used either: for, Pastage’<on heyenue _otaniees
or for both. The pages are ruled in perfect squares 36 to the square
inch ; herein lies its superiority. The idea is original with the publisher.
All advanced collectors have found ordinary albums with printed spaces
of little use ; such albums do not provide for shades, watermarks, perfora-
tions, &c., and experience has shown that albums with blank pages are
more desirable. It has also been found very difficult to arrange stamps
evenly and artistically in the ordinary blank album. The ruling solves
this difficulty and even the inexperienced can arrange stamps evenly

and in many beautiful designs without any trouble.
These albums are being copyrighted in Canada and the U. S.

They are printed on one side only on 6 ply card board and are
bound 50 sheets in a book in fine leather binding and sell at $5.00 each.
The cards will be supplied at 5 cts. each. Sample card sent for 5 cts.

Do not, buy an album till you have examined the Cosmopolitan.

It is bound to replace all others in the estimation of advanced col-
lectors, and collectors of Oddities, Original Covers, Revenues, &c.

pViOl. Vi. PETERBOROUGH, MARCH, 1892. No. 39

CHRONIGEES OF NEW ISSUES, ETC.

Conducted by William C. Stone, Springfield, Mass., to whom all information
respecting new issues etc., should be sent.

The figures in parenthesis after the names of the countries refer to the number of this paper containing the last
revious notice Colors in italics represent the colors of the surcharges, All envelopes unless otherwise stated
: I 8 |
are of white wove paper. All post cards unless otherwise stated are on buff cardboard.

ADHESIVES.

AFGHANISTAN (38)—The Stamp News is informed of the discovery of the 1 shahi of
the issue dated 1290, printed in violet instead of black. 1 shahi, violet, 1290.

ARGENTINE (38)—The authorities have been after the printers of these stamps with a
sharp stick for touching up the. plates without permission, it is reported. Besides the
I centavo already noted the 6 and ¥{ cents have also been touched up, and the latter is
now said to be on bluish paper.

BELGIum (29)—M. Moens has the 1 centime, with the error CENTIMF. 1 centime,
eray GEN WT ME:

British BECHUANALAND (38)—Two of the Cape stamps have been surcharged ver-
tically, with “ British Bechuanaland,” in much larger type than formerly. 1 penny, red ;
blach. 2 penny, brown ; dZack.

BritisH East Arrica (38)—The color of the anna has been changed and between
the acts the 3 annas has been surcharged to supply a temporary (philatelic) need we sup-
pose. 4 anna on 34, black on red; 4/ack. § anna black on yellow ; d¢ack

BritisH NortH Borneo (37)—The Philatelic Record reports a new surcharge. This
time it is the 8 cents with ‘‘6 cents” in black. 6 cents on 8 cents green, black.

BuLcaria (20)—A new net is said to be in preparation for this Principality. We
hope that they will bear the likeness of Prince Ferdinand for the lion is getting to be
rather played out.

Carr or Goop Hope (34)—Several of our readers have written us recently calling
attention to the 4 penny with anchor watermark as something new. On the authority of
Le Timbre Poste we chronicled this stamp in January, 1891, but it is quite possible that
it has only recently come into general use. We have one on a letter that was mailed
November 28.

Cauca (20)—The American Journal of Philately recently chronicled a stamp for this
Department, but gave no particulars concerning it. In the centre are the arms of Col-
umbia in a circle inscribed “‘ Provincia de Cauca” and “Correos.” At the top in two
lines is “ Republica de Colombia” and at the bottom “Cinco Centavos” also in two
lines. In the upper corners numerals of value in circles and in the lower corners small
shields with numerals. 5 centavos, red on rose. Why is this inscribed Provincia and
not Departamento ?

CotompiaA (30)—The cubiertas with declared value are somewhat changed in design.
‘The arms are in the centre as before, but the top inscription now ‘reads “ Republica

32 THE DOMINION PHILATELIST.

de Colombia ” in a straight line across the entire upper part of the stamp in two solid
labels. ‘The second line at the left of the arm is now ‘Vale ( ) Centavos,” the other
inscriptions being placed as before, but in much smaller type. 10 centavos, black on rose.

Curacao (38)—Three values of the new set with the portraits of Queen Wilhelmina
are announced. ‘The design is the same as the old set with the exception of the substi-
tution.of the queen’s portrait, which is the same as on the issue of the mother country.
12% cent. green, 15 cent. rose, 25 cent. brown.

Cusa.—H. L. Gray has shown us some of the 1892 set. The only change is in the
colors, mil de peso, violet brown ; 1 mil de peso, violet brown; 2 mil de peso, violet
brown ; 3 mil de peso, violet brown ; 4 mil de peso, violet brown; 8 mil de peso, violet
brown ; 1 cent de peso, olive brown ; 24 cent de peso, vermilion.

DiEGO SuAREZ (37)—Two more of these everlasting surcharges. This time it is
““7891—Diego Suarez—sc.” in three lines that run diagonally across the stamp with
dashes between. 5c. on 10 cent, black on violet, zed ; 5c. on 20 cent, red on green, back.

Durcu InpiEs (21)—Queen Wilhelmina’s portrait has been substituted for that of
King William on the 20 cent stamp. 20 cents blue. One of our contemporaries gives the
color as green, but it is probably the same as the old issue.

FRANCE (21)—The 15 centimes is to be printed on blue network, after the manner of
safety paper used for bank checks. ‘The 2 francs of the unpaid set has been withdrawn
as it was not used, and a 50 centime of the same design as the rest of the series is to
be issued.

Great Britian (37)—The editor of the Philatelic Journal of Great Britain informs
us that the 4 penny stamp will soon be withdrawn and a four pence half-penny issued

y)

in its place. The Stamp ews announces the 2% penny with the surcharge “I. R.
Official.” 21% pence, violet on blue, d/ack. Le Timbre Poste also chronicles the same
stamp with ‘Government Parcels.” 2% penny violet on blue ; d/ack.

GRENADA (27)—-H. Corbett sends us a specimen of the 8 penny with “ 2%4d.” sur-
charged in black on the head. It may also be found inverted and double. The 4
pence is to be withdrawn, Mr. Corbett is informed, as it is no longer needed. 2p.
on 8p., bistre, d/ack. C. W. Lomler has sent us a r pound revenue, postmarked “Feb.
7, 1884,” which he found in an old collection, the owner of which gave him every assur-
ance of its being genuinely used for postage. This value has not been noted before we
think. 1 pound, green and orange.

. GREECE (30)—Mr. Chaidopoulos sends us the 2 lepta Athens print, perforate, 1114
and imperforate, 2 lepta, pale bistre; perf. 2 lepta, pale bistre, imperf.

Inpia (38)—The new value of 2 annas 6 pies has the same design as the 4 a. 6 p.
which it replaces. Watermark star, perforate 14. 2 annas 6 pies, green.

Martta—Le Timbre Poste announces the 5 shillings with crown C. A. watermark.
There seems to be some confusion concerning this stamp among the cataloguers for
several authorities do not mention it at all with C. C. watermark, but give the whole set
as C. A. The early supplies of these stamps bore a very faint watermark which certainly
appears more like the C. C. type than the C. A. 5 shillings, carmine.

® Mexico (37)—H. L. Gray send us two more values with the watermark noted a few
months since. 4 centavos, scarlet ; 10 centavos, scarlet.

Morocco.—The /lustrirte Briefmarken Zeitung announces a stamp which it is. said
has been issued by the son of the French vice-consul at Mazagan, who has established
a sort of pony express, we should judge, between that place and the capital. Rectan-
gular stamp with large numerals of value in oval; “Service de Courriers” above and
‘“‘Mazagan a Maroc” below. Perforate 11.. 25 centimes, carmine.

THE, DOMINION PHIEATBEIST. 33

NETHERLANDS (37)—The following are the dates of issue of several of the new
stamps. 15 cents, brown, December ; 20 cents, green, January ; 224 cents, blue-green,
December ; 25 cents, violet, December ; 25 cents, bistre, December. A 3 cent stamp
for local postage is to be issued about the first of this month. It will be printed in yellow
and bear the portrait of the Queen.

Norway (25)—The 1 ore is now printed in a dark gray brown color. 1 ore, dark
gray brown.

StrMooR—De /fostidjon announces the 3 pies, with the same surcharge as the other
official stamps. 3 pies, orange, d/ack.

Soxorra.—This island in the gulf of Aden is the latest British possession to issue
stamps. ‘Two values of the Cyprus adhesives have been surcharged “ Sokotra ” above,
and a new value below 4 anna on r penny, carmine ; 1 anna on 2 penny, blue. Sokotra
is a large island lying 150 miles off Cape Guardafui at the entrance of the Gulf of Aden.
It is about 82 miles long by 20 broad, and its area is variously computed at from 1300 to
3000 square miles. Since 1876 it has been under British protection, a subsidy being paid
to the Arab Sultan of Keshin, he undertaking not to cede the island to any power but
England. In 1886 it was formally annexed by England, and is now provisionally ruled
by the Resident of Aden. The capital Tamarida is situated on the north east coast.
The island is famed for its aloes and also exports dragon’s blood, dates, figs, etc.-—Hazedl’s
Annual.

SrERRA LEONE (30)—Henry F. King sends us word ‘that he has the 3 pence yellow
with the C. C. watermark sideways. ‘These errors are due to feeding the sheets into the
press the wrong way.

SWEDEN (38)—We learn from L’£cho de a Timbrologie that the 1, 2, 3 and 4o ore
stamps of the new type are nearly ready, and that there will be a 1 kroner stamp which
will be of a different shape from the rest, probably taking that of the official stamps. The
rate on money orders having been changed it is the expectation that there will be a 15
ore stamp issued. The ‘“‘ Losen ” stamps are now permanently retired from service.

Unitep Stares—Wells, Fargo & Co.. C. W. Mexia sends us a new (?) newspaper
stamp used by this company. It is type set and is inscribed as follows: “ Well’s, Fargo
& Co.’s Express. 1 LB. prepaid newspaper stamp, 1 CT. in payment of charges on
newspapers and magazines to all points reached by this company in Missouri, Kansas,
Nebraska, Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, New Mexico, Wyoming and Dakota. If the package
contains any other matter, charge tariff rate in addition to the stamp. Dudley Evans,
General Superintendent.” There is a 'T shape border around the inscription measuring
75x51 m. It will be noticed that there is an error in the inscription the s of stamp
having dropped out. Perforate 12. 1 cent black on pink.

ENVELOPES.

Bavarta.—The following printed to order envelopes are noted by one of the German
papers. 3 pfennig, brown on white, blue inside, 120x95 m. ; 10 pfennig, carmine on
white, 155x124m. ; 20 pfennig, blue on white, 155x124m.

Great Britain (38)—We are indebted to S. C. Skipton for the new 23 penny en-
velope. The design is the same as the claret one, except that the date plugs are omitted.
The paper is tough bond paper and is watermarked “De La Rue & Co., extra tough.”
24 pence, blue on white, 140x78m. ; 24 pence, blue on white, r40x110m.

.SwepEN (31)—The 2 ore envelope is similar in design to the other values, but has the
following inscription around the outside of the frame. “For lokalforsandele utan
skriftligt “meddelando.” (For local communications without written notes.) 2 ore,
yellow ochre. The flap is similar to that on the 4 ore.

34 THE DOMINION PHILATELIST.

Unitep States (31)—C. S. Mackie sends us a large baronial envelope of the current
knife and with the present stamp, but with the old U. S. watermark. We are not sure
that this has been noted before and so mention it here. We recently received a I 4
envelope of the current issue (size JD) which is rather of a curiosity. The paper (white)
bears no trace whatever of any watermark, and stranger than all is not laid but wove.
Has anyone seen another such? It was sent by a boot and shoe firm in Boston. I
cent blue on white wove, 89x160m.

POST CARDS.

Bavaria (16)—The 20 pfennig Mandat has been issued with the date 1892. 20
pfennig, blue.

Barpapos— The Philatelic Record is informed that the double 14 penny has been
surcharged “one penny ” in violet witha hand stamp. 1X1 penny on 14x14p. mauve, violet:

BermMupA—The Justrirte Briefmarken Zeitung reports 1 penny reply card of the
usual type. 1x1 penny, carmine.

GrerMANY (38)—The following have been heard of since our last list : 5 pfennig, green.
891.a.f., 791 a., 1291 D. c.f 2. i B%5 DlennIs, Breen; Sor m. 1201 f., 10 pfennig, car_
mine; 791 a.f., 891 b., M. O. 20 pfennig, blue; 891, «292, no value, black, 791, 891, 1291,

Great Britain (20)—The Stamp News has seen the Jubilee card printed on both sides.

Inpia (23)—The Stamp News reports that the 13 anna cards have been surcharged
“One Anna” in block type. 1 anna on ra. blue, d/ack; 1x1 anna on 14x14 a, blue, ddack.

QUEENSLAND (12)—Penny half-penny cards have been issued of a design similar tc
that of the current issue. The postal union inscriptions are in two lines above the central
inscription, and the stamp is rectangular with a head of Victoria in circle name above,
“ Post Card” between pentagons containing numerals below, “3 half” at left of centre
and “pence” at right. The usual instructions are found on the reply card in the left lower
corner in Frenchand English, Size 129x84mm, 14 pence, brown ; 13x14 pence, brown.

Soxorra—The 1 piaster Cyprus has been surcharged “Sokotra Island” across the
name and the stamp is treated like the adhesives. 4 anna on r piaster, carmine ; d/ack.

LETTER CARDS.

Brazit U.S. Or. (35).—From L’Eche de la Timbrolegie we take the following list of
dates of issue of the numerous colors of pape! that the letter card has been issued on. All
are in 1891. March 6, yellow bistre ; April —-, brown ; May 22, green (2 shades) ; August
8, blue violet ; November 18, clear brown ; November 21, orange; November 27, buff.
December 14, flesh color From De Postidjon we hear of three new varieties. The stamp,
inscriptions, and view of Rio, etc. are all in one color and the interior of the cards is white,
the third variety being ruled inside. 80 reis., carmine on salmon ; 80 reis., red brown on
chocolate ; 80 reis, carmine on cream. From Za Carte Postal we lean of its issue on still
another color with the ruled lines inside like the last. 80 reis., carmine on rose and blue.
We give the above for what it is worth. We must confess it looks a little mixed up. Per-
haps Mr. Watson can straighten things out for us.

Ecypr (26).—The 1 piaster envelope letter is now inscribed same as the 5 milliomes, the
three Arabic characters being replaced by some half a dozen or so. 1 piaster, blue.

Great Britain. Editor Skipton of the Philatelic Journal of Great Britain has our
thanks for the first sight of the card which was issued February 11. It bears the same
stamp as the current 1 penny post card and has the royal arms over “ Letter Card ” in the
center. At the bottom on the margin is “To open the letter card tear off the edge at the
perforation.” On the reverse in two lines: “ If used for transmission abroad the additional
postage required should be supplied by means of adhesive stamps.” 1 penny, carmine on
light blue.

TELEGRAPHS.

Cusa.—From H. L. Gray we have received the new stamps for 1892. The design ‘is
unchanged the colors being the only modification. 5 cent de peso, blue ; 10 cent de peso,
orange vermilion ; 20 cent de peso, carmine ; 4o cent de peso green.

Monaco.—A telephone ticket of a similar design to those of France, it being printed
at the National printing office in Paris. It will bear a stamp with the portrait of Prince
Albert and will be of the value of 10 centimes.

Nicaracua.—The Philatelic Monthly records the new stamps with the surcharge

5 peso, purple, zed ; 10 peso, carmine, db/e ;

Spain.—Le Timbre Poste describes and illustrates two stamps used on the Andalusian,
railway lines. ‘They are typographed and bear simply inscriptions in six lines. “F.C,
Andaluces Servicio publico de Telegrafos,” with the value anda serial number. They were
issued imperforate in 1883 and perforate 134 in 1886. They are not sold to the public
but are affixed by the clerks, one part being on the dispatch and the other on the coupon
or receipt. 10 cent de peseta, blue, 1 peseta, red.

UniTED STATES.—At last we have a telephone stamp. JZehee/’s Weekly Stamp News
illustrates a stamp issued by the Southern New England Telephone Co. which has the
familiar bell in a circle inscribed with ‘‘ Good for messages between all points in Connecti-
cut.” Above in scrolls is the name of the company. No color or value is mentioned by
the Vews.

WORCESTER, March 3, 1892.
Editor Dominion Philatelist :

DEAR SIR,—I quote from “ The Collector” who copied from “ The Morning
Advertiser” the following, which I think it would be well to have corrected, to
save Philatelists trouble as such z¢fems only misrepresent them and lead them
astray.

“ Would you kindly inform me through the columns of your paper how I
could get the postage stamps (unused) of the various Departments in Washington
for their face value.”

NEW YORK, Fan. 14, 1892.

“Write to the 3rd Asst P. M. General. The Post Office Department issues
complete sets, especially for collectors. | They include P.O. State, Navy, Interior,
Executive, Judiciary, and War. Dep’t Stamps, in addition to the regular issues.
These stamps cost from one cent to sixty dollars. Ed. Adv.”

I wish to say for the benefit of all stamp collectors, that the third Assistant
Postmaster-General has no stamps of any kind to sell, nor any stamped enve-
lopes, nor any other kind of stamped paper whatever to sell. I have this infor-
mation from him direct over his signature.

EXCHANGE SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.

GENTLEMEN,—I regret to say that only 2 members have sent in sheets for
circuits during the past month; also that I have experienced difficulty in getting
members to settle their accounts owing to the fact that they have sheets unre-
turned with Mr. Grenny, the ex-Supt,

On this account I have not been able to settle with members as I had ex-
pected to do, I have had considerable correspondence with Mr, Grenny during
the month and from information furnished me am convinced that he shou!d not
be blamed for the delay in settling up his accounts. The trouble is that 9 books
valued at $217.15 and owned by 9 members are now and have been in the hands
of Wilson Willy, of Toronto, since November 10, 1891, and had previously been
at the Halifax Branch for several months, and Mr. Grenny cannot make settle-
ment till those books reach him. The trustees intend, I believe taking legal
action to recover these books at once so members can look for a speedy settle-
ment. I am convinced Mr, Grenny has done everything in his power to speedily
close his accounts. I trust when next month’s report is published to be able to
tell you that everything is settled. Yours,

H. F. KETCHESON, Exchange Superintendent.

Mr. G. F. BENSON, a member of the Montreal Philatelic Association left for
Europe a few days ago and expects to be absent several months.

FROM a circular now before us we learn that London, Eng., is to have another
stamp journal to be known as the Phzlatelic Monthly News. The first number
will be issued in April.

Mr. C. H. HOLDEN, of Port Dover, Ont., intends holding Auction Sales of
Stamps monthly. His first sale will likely be held on April 15th. Mr. Holden
gives good New York and Montreal references and we wish him every succéss in
his new venture,

THE February number of the “ Philatelic Eva” is the best number of this
paper we have ever received. It contains a Philatelic poem by Guy W. Green,
chronicles of new issues by W. C. Stone, several short aricles and a quantity of
bright news notes. We must congratulate Brother Jewett on the appearance of
his paper.

Mr. E. F. WURTELE, of Quebec, Chairman of the Trustee Board of the C.P.A.,
is a graduate of the Royal Military College, Kingston. He visited that city on
Friday, March rith, to attend the annual re-union and banquet. He intends
stopping there a couple of days and no doubt will call on many of the collectors
of that city.

‘Two of New York’s best known and most popular collectors, R.F. Albrecht
and C. Witt, have formed a partnership and opened an office at 90 Nassau Street,
New York City and intend conducting a general Philatelic and Publishing busi-
ness under the firm name of Albrecht & Witt. We know both gentlemen person-
ally and can recommend them to our readers as advanced Philatelists and jolly
good fellows. They are both C. P, A. members,

FROM Mekeel’s Weekly Stamp News we learn that a certain Spaniard by name
of Rosondo Fernandez has been arrested at St. Louis for selling forged stamps.
It appears that he entered the United States from Mexico, calling at Galves-
ton, Texas, and Memphis, Tennessee. At each of these places he managed to
sell a quantity of his goods. From there he proceeded to St. Louis. In the
meantime Mr. V. Gurdji, of Galveston, had ascertained that a number of stamps
he had purchased from this gentlemen were forgeries and had a notice published
to that effect, and describing the Spaniard. When he arrived in St. Louis the
collectors and dealers of that city were on the look-out for him. He came into
the office of C. H. Mekeei’s Stamp and Publishing Co. and was at once suspicioned
by Mr. Mekeel as being the man wanted. The police were notified and he was
arrested. He will be taken to Galveston for trial.

CANADA Revenue Stamps are now the favorites and the dealers who handle
them are doing a thriving trade. There are no more beautiful stamps to be found
than the Revenue Stamps of Canada and the various Provinces, being in almost
every case of handsome design and beautifully engraved. Most of these stamps
are now obsolete and there is no doubt that in a few years many of the varieties
which can be cheaply obtained now will be unobtainable on account of the limited
number that were used. We would advise all collectors who want something
cheap to beautify your collection to try Canada Revenue Stamps.

THE DOMINION PHILATELIST. 39

AN order in Council was passed a few days ago by the Dominion Govern-
ment depriving the civil servants of Canada of the privilege that they have
hitherto enjoyed of being able to send and receive all their correspondence free.
This is a step in the right direction as members of the civil service have just as
good a right to pay postage as have other citizens. A special letter carrier has
been appointed to deliver letters to civil servants in Ottawa and all letters received
and delivered to persons in the Departments that have not been prepaid will be
charged the amount of deficiency and the persons to whom such letters are
addressed will have to pay for them before getting them. This order takes effect
on March 15th.

As the time for the C. P. A. Convention for this year is not far distant, Mr.
T. S. Clark, of Belleville, Ontario, wishes to announce to the C. P. A. members
and all others interested that he intends holding an auction sale at Niagara Falls
during the time of the C. P. A. Convention. He also desires any one who has
good stamps to dispose of to write him as he wishes to have a large number of
good lots to sell. If you have anything that you desire to sell at auction let him
know.

Mr. H. F. KETCHESON is busily engaged in preparing the third edition of
his catalogue of Canada Postage and Revenue Stamps. Those who have bought
former editions know how useful this catalogue is. The third edition will cat-
alogue many new varieties and will be fully up to date. The price will be: bound
in cloth, 50c., in paper, 25c. Orders may be sent in now and catalogues will be
mailed as soon as they are ready. Send orders to H. F. Ketcheson, Belleville,

Ont.

Mr. T. S. CLARK, of Belleville, Ontario, has shown us the 2 cent and 5 cent
Canada present issue on close ribbed paper. Thus far we have seen the I, 2, 3,
5, 6 and 10 cent of this issue on this variet¥cf paper. They are very scarce only
one being found occasionally. No doubt they have been printed on this variety
of paper inerror. If you have any quantity of the present issue Canada stamps
it will pay you to look them over. You might find some on ribbed paper.

Mr. E. C. BIGGAR, of Fremont, Nebraska, who is an old Toronto boy and has
been out in the west for several years intends coming back to Canada soon. He
expects to leave Nebraska about May 15, accompanied by two others and they
intend making the trip on bronchos all the way. Mr. Biggar has promised us a
photograph of the trio as they will look when they are ready to start.

The Cosmopolitan Stamp Album is rapidly coming to the front, all who have
bought them being well pleased with them. For the general collector they have
no equal as they are made to hold revenuues, postage, entire envelopes or postal
cards. No doubt this is the best Album ever offered to the public. Bound in
finest leather binding, price $5.00. Address H. F. Ketcheson, Belleville, Ont.

ALONG with this number of the DOMINION PHILATELIST you will find a
copy of the catalogue of Clark’s Second Auction Sale which will be held in Belle-
ville, on the evening of April 12th. Look it over carefully, make your bids and
send them in to him at once. There are many good stamps offered and the
reserve prices are low.

POSTAL INFORMATION.

Annual Report of the Postmaster-General of the United States.
QUEBEC, March 1, 1892.

The report lately published shows the usual annual deficit in the finances of
the Department is gradually but surely disappearing. Mr. Wanamaker believes
in the full parcel post, but does not recommend it at present, He proposes to
extend the money order system everywhere. It appears that nearly 8,000 miles
of additional railroad post office service have been established, 1,300 miles in
the Pacific Coast States, 3,500 in the Western States, 2.400 in the Southern
States, and about 1,000 in the Northeastern States. The new system of separ-
ating city mail for large commercial centres in the railroad post offices is proving
a great advantage to the business public.

Nearly $2,000,000 in checks, drafts, and money, reached the dead letter office
during the year through improper addressing, more than one-half from New
York State. Probably double this sum has been lost through delays and
accidents resulting from carelessness in mailing and correspondence.

Regarding the Postal Act, the Postmaster-General says: “The general
concensus of opinion among all classes of business men familiar with shipping
was found to be that in view of the additional cost of construction of ships in
America, the higher wages of American seamen, the increased outlay for run-
ning expenses to maintain the speed required for mail steamers over and above
the average speed of freight and traffic steamers, the mileage compensation under
the law was considered inadequate, and not attractive to capital seeking invest-
ment. There were also others who held the belief that, by reason of losses
incurred in past years by owners of American steamships, equity demanded that
the appropriation of the last Congress should be divided among the lines, and
that the department was not justified m making specifications that would require
even improved service in the future.

This view was not concurred in by the Department, and after inviting confer-
ences with representatives of the shipping interests of all the important ports, the
Department on the 15th of last July advertised for fifty-three lines of service, If
contracts are completed with all companies whose bids seem to be in proper
form, the service will probably begin from the first March, and the sum necessary
to be appropriated for the remainder of the fiscal year will not be more than
$247,354 in addition to the appropriation for sea and inland postage already put
into the estimates for this year. For the next fiscal year, from June 30th ,1&g2,
to June 30th, 1893, there will probably be needed $561,518 for which an appro-
priation will be necessary, as the estimates for that year only include the amount
of sea and inland postage. The exact amount cannot be ascertained until the
contracts are executed. |

It is estimated that under this Act there will be ships of a total tonnage of
109,000 tons carrying the American flag, in addition to the tonnage under the
flag but not under the Act.

Some of the old ships will give way to the new, and additional ships will be
necessary for the increased speed required. The Companies will be obliged to
build fifteen ships immediately,”

GENERAJ, NOTES.—The death is announced of Mr. G. E. Griffin, who died in
the month of February. He had been connected with the Public Service from
1837 to 1891, and introduced Registered Stamps, Money Order and Railway Mail
Service, in Canada and the two latter in the United States. The Canadian Govern-
ment sent him on many important missions to England, France, Germany and
else where. Deceased was over 70 years of age.

_ The United States Official Postal Guide issued by the Government, is pub-
lished in an annual number in January, and in monthly supplements, a book of
goo pages, containing three classified lists of the 66,000 post offices in the Union,
together with postal rules and mail regulations. Every merchant, wholesale
dealer, manufacturer and professional man having correspondence will find the
guide indispensible. No establishment where accuracy and care are observed as
rules is complete without it. The price of the guide in paper is $2.co, in cloth,
$2.50, and can be obtained from Geo..F. Lasher, 1213 Filbert Street,
Philadelphia, Pa.

Re: Roman States, 50 baj., blue. Inarecent number of Mekeel’s Weekly
Stamp News there appeared a letter calling attention to the above stamp, pro-
nouncing it a counterfeit and further adding that it had been purchased at the
Auction Sale held in Montreal on the Ist January last and conducted by Mr. T.
S. Clark, of Belleville, Ont. As the owner of the stamp in question I immediately
placed myself in communication with Mr. C. H. Mekeel and forwarded him the
stamp, with a view of having him describe the difference between it and the

genuine, and informing him that it formed part of a collection I had purchased

from a collector who had ceased collecting for some fifteen to twenty years. I
have much pleasure in submitting the following extract from Mr. Mekeel’s letter :
“T have examined the alleged counterfeit very carefully with a view of describing
“the difference between it and a genuine specimen, as you requested, and the
“more I study it the more I am led to doubt whether or not it is a counterfeit.
“Mr. Tiffany has in his collection seven copies of this stamp ; one of them is very
‘‘clearly printed, the other six showing differences of impression which are much
“poorer ; the seventh and poorest specimen is almost as badly printed as the copy
“you sent, but by careful comparison the copy returned herewith seems to fulfill
“all the requirements, and I therefore believe it is a very badly printed specimen
“of the genuine stamp.” The above information coming from an authority on
the subject fully removes any false impression which may have been given by the
publication of the letter declaring it a counterfeit, and in justice to Mr. Clark, I
have given the subject more thought than I otherwise would have done.

ERNEST F. WURTELE.

SAME GOLLECTING IN_ITALY.

By the Author of “ The Fight at Dame Europa’s School,’ continued.
(FROM PHILATELIC JOURNAL OF GREAT BRITAIN)

‘Oh no, nothing of that sort,” answered the boy, quite seriously. “ We are
not Turks here in Aquila, or even Neapolitans. But if he could pay you out in
mild spiteful kind of way, he would do so, you may be sure.”

42 THE DOMINION PHILATELIST.

He does not strike me as a particularly brave young man, I remarked ; “for,
as far as I can see, he is afraid to pass that donkey. The beast appears to be
tetherec, so he can’t drive him on: and unless he means to climb the wall, or
jump the ditch, he must either turn back or face the mad Englishman and his es-
cort, or take his chance of the donkey’s heels. I wonder which of the four evils
he will choose.”

“What a fool he looks, standing there!” exclaimed one of the boys. “Why
on earth dosen’t he move on? Fancy being afraid of a great stupid donkey!”

“That is a popular delusion,” observed the big boy who always said good
things. ‘The Professor was telling us so only yesterday up at class. He says
it is quite a mistake to suppose that a donkey is stupid. On the contrary, he is a
very intelligent animal.”

“Then what do they call him a donkey for?” asked a bright little fellow of
twelve.

To my disapointment, the question remain unanswered, for the critical position
of Signor Scaramucci absorbed general attention. With one consent, the entire
group stood still, and watched his proceedings from afar. That young gentleman
looked first at the wall on his right, and secondly at the ditch on his left, and saw
to his dismay that he could get no help from either. He then cast a nervous
glance in our direction, and apparently decided that we were even less confront-
able than either the ditch or the wall. His only chance was the donkey, who
stood, however, straight across the lane, in such a position that if he tried to pass
the intelligent animal’s head he would certainly slip into the ditch, while the
distance between the quadruped’s hind quarters and the wall might possibly ex-
ceed by an inch and a half the width of Signor Scarumcci’s attenuated frame.
He tried coaxing, but the ass would not be coaxed. He tried kicking, but he
might as well have kicked the wall. He tried thumping, but the blows recoiled
upon his own half-dislocated knuckles. He hurled great stones, which literally
bounded off the poor creature’s back, but he would not stir.

__ There is an old proverb, “ You must pay for your experience,” of which I have proved
the truth. Some lots sold at my first auction were returned to me for various reasons such
as “flaws not noticed,” “too enthusiastically described,” ‘ counterfeit,” ete , etc. and proved
to be bitter pills, for I thought I had described the Stamps just right. In this Auction Cata-
logue I have endeavored to be moderate in description and J have striven to point out every
flaw. Ifin any instance I have failed, let the friends read over again the defects I have
noticed and let the mantle of charity cover my failings. In this catalogue will be found a
very fine collection of the stamps of Japan previous to 1876, After that date the interest in
those stamps decreases, as from then until now (excepting the 5 sen green) they were typo-
eraphed and are all alike on the sheet, but previous to that year they were all sing’y engraved
by hand in plates of 40 varieties. This lot is part of the best collection of Japanese stamps
in America, and every stamp is lightly cancelled and a perfect specimen. To the general
collector many of these stamps are rare, and in a few years some of them will be unobtainable,
As the list stands it is almost a complete collection, the missing ones being only the rarest
varieties. In every case the stamps are on native paper, laid or wove, except otherwise
specified, Where different perforations exist, a specimen of each variety is given where there
are many stamps. The plate numbers are the same as Syllabic characters, they are marked
on the back of each stamp. Those numbers were used for checking the number of stamps
printed, every 10,000 having a separate character.

While perhaps in this Sale there are not so many very rare stamps as in my first sale, yet
there are some very desirable stamps, such as the watermarked 4d, 63d, 8d and 1s. New-
foundland, some of the old issues of Azores, and a fine 5 reis unperforated of Madeira. There
are a goodly array of Canada and United States to meet the wants of Philatelists with
medium as well as large collections. Dealers will do well to read over the fist of wholesale lots.
IT hope to be well supported in this enterprise and will endeavor to give satisfaction to all.

Yours in*philately,

fT. 5. CLARE

inch ; herein lies its superiority. The idea is original with the publisher.
All advanced collectors have found ordinary albums with printed spaces
of little use ; such albums do not provide for shades, watermarks, perfora-
tions, &c., and experience has shown that albums with blank pages are
more desirable. It has also been found very difficult to arrange stamps
evenly and artistically in the ordinary blank album. The ruling solves
this difficulty and even the inexperienced can arrange stamps evenly
and in many beautiful designs without any trouble.

These albums are being copyrighted in Canada and the U. S.

They are printed on one side only on 6 ply card board and are
bound 50 sheets in a book in fine leather binding and sell at $5.00 each.
The cards will be supplied at 5 cts. each. Sample card sent for 5 cts.

Do not buy an album till you have examined the Cosmopolitan.

It is bound to replace all others in the estimation of advanced col-
lectors, and collectors of Oddities, Original Covers, Revenues, &c.

ADHESIVES.

ANTIOQUIA (25).—There are new colors of paper reported for several of these stamps
but we are inclined to agree with Henry Gremmel, who states in the Post Office that they
are nothing but proofs. We have seen numerous fancy varieties of the stamps of this
country, and of Panama which were offered as proofs and essays by dealers.

several varieties, and that three lower values are evidently printed from the same forms.

Urucuay (37)—The t cent green has been surcharged “ Provisorio 1892,” in two
lines in black, and the 7 cent has also received the overprint of ‘‘Cinco Contesimos

black ; 24 penny on 4 p. violet, ved.

imperial postal officials in discontinuing the sale of stamped nae: by the Govern-

quarters of this is inscribed “The British South Africa Company,” the lower portion is

that this was altered before putting them on sale.

cent de peseta, blue; ¢ peseta, red.

Unitep Srares.—Pacific Postal Telegraph Cable Co. We have received from A. W:
Dunning a set of four stamps which have been issued by this company, whether recently
or not we are not informed. They are oblong, measuring 44x22 mm. At the top in
two lines is the name of the company on a background showing the sun peeping over a
range of hills with a telegraph pole in the foreground. Below this is ‘‘ This stamp will
be accepted at any office of the Pacific Postal Telegraph Company in payment for
telegrams, Chas. R. Hosmer, General Manager.” In the lower right corner is a circle
Ii mm. in diameter containing the value in both words and figures. The perforation
gauges 12, but none of the specimens sent us are perforated on all sides, and none of them
on the ends. ro cents, brown; 15 cents, black; 40 cents, light green ; 50 cents, blue.
Can any of our readers inform us whether these stamps are stiil in use, and if so where
the lines of the company are? ‘There is a white label across the left end of the stamps
which we suppose is for the control number.

REVENUES.

UnitTep States (38).—W. A. Mac Cart sends us some additional information con-
cerning tobacco, etc., stamps of which we spoke month before last. The 1883 series of
Manf. Tobacco stamps are all surcharged “‘ Act of October ist, 1890,” in red, the type
used on the 14 and 16 oz., being different from the others. 1 ounce, 2 ounce, 3 ounce,
4 ounce, 8 ounce, 16 ounce, all black on green; red. The 8 ounce has been seen with a
double surcharge. The snuff and tobacco stamps have probably all been treated in a
similar manner, but our informant has only seen the following: Tobacco, 4 pounds,
black on green, ved; snuff, 1 ounce, black on green, ved. Of the series of 18g1 the
following values have been seen by MacCart with a few high values which he does not
specify. 1 ounce, 2 ounce, 3 ounce, 4 ounce, 8 ounce, 16 ounce, all black on green,
He has also seen two values of a set which in.addition to the words “ series of 1891,” are
inscribed “ New Issue.” 2 ounces, black on green, 4 ounces, black on green. The work
on them is very inferior compared with previous issues. Henry Gremmel has discovered
a specimen of the $1 black and green, third issue revenue stamp with inverted center.

* * x

WHILE looking over a large lot of 15 cents, Canada present issue, just im-
ported from Europe, we found three that were a beautiful blue, about the same
shade as the 1868 12% cent. Has anyone else ever seen this stamp in blue?
We never heard of it before.

Re EXCHANGE DEPARTMENT.

QUEBEC, 5th April 7892.
To the Members Canadian Philatelic Association :

GENTLEMEN,—In view of the many difficulties which we have had to contend
with, and the very unsatisfactory manner in which the affairs of the late Exchange
Superintendent, F. J. Grenny, present themselves to us, we have decided upon
the following manner of ascertaining the standing of the said Department.

To request all members having any claim against the department in question,
to forward a statement thereof to the Chairman of Trustees ; these will then be
taken into consideration by the Board of Trustees with a view of arriving at some
satisfactory settlement with the members, until such time as we can procure a
correct statement of the old exchange, and the books referred to in another part
of this letter.

We submit a list of sheets which were sent on Circuit 4th of January, 1891,
and which is the only information in our possession at present, from which we
find that Mr. Wilson Wilby has kept them since roth November, last, and no
satisfactory reason for so doing has been given. Needless to state, this is much
to be regretted, and prevents a settlement for the time being.

We will endeavor to get this gentleman to fully recognize the position he has
taken, by retaining in his possession, sheets of stamps belonging to individual
members of tne Association. and although not desirous of of causing unpleasant-
ness, nevertheless, will insist upon justice being done to the members.

We aim at placing the new Department on a thorough business basis, and
feel confident that when we are in possession of sufficient information from which
to understand clearly the position of affairs, that a settlement will in all probability
be reached which will enable the carrying on of the New Department on its own
merits, and that the members will appreciate the steps we are taking in their be-
half, and assist in making the Exchange the success which it is bound to attain
under a proper business administration,

We are of the opinion that it is not advisable to send sheets out on circuit

until we fully establish our present difficulty with the old exchange and have in-
structed Mr. H. F. Ketcheson, our Exchange Superintendent, accordingly.

Our decision in this case we feel assured will be recognized by you all as a
move in the right direction, and we will do our utmost to place the Exchange,
Department into active operation with as little delay as possible.

As soon as the existing difficulty is removed, the future success of this De-
partment is beyond question and by a hearty co-operation of all the members of
the Association will attain the position which it is so desirable it should hold.

Prompt action on the part of the members directly interested will be appre-
ciated and will tend to promote the general welfare of our Association.

We have the honor to be, Gentlemen,
Your obedient servants,

He, CONNELL,

A correspondent from New Brunswick informs us that he recently sold a
beautiful unused specimen of the “Connell” for $105: also that he has seen
and expects to own soon a cancelled specimen of this rarity on the original
cover. Mr. W. H. Brouse, of Toronto, has a cancelled specimen in his collection
which he obtained from an old lady who took it off the envelope herself and
kept it, because she knew Connell personally, and it was a very good likeness of
him. For a long time it was claimed this stamp had never done duty for post-
age, but the last year has brought to light indisputable evidence that a few of
these stamps were used and passed through the mails.

IT is satisfactory to find that the authorities of British Honduras have taken
energetic measures to stop the making of unnecessary surcharges in the colony.
The commencement of al! the trouble had reference to the sucharge six on the
4d., violet, which, it appears, were never issued to the public, and all the pro-
ceedings in the case were referre? to Lord Knutsford, the Secretary of State for
the Colonies. We since hear that the Governor of the Colony ordered all the
remaining stock of the later surcharges to be destroyed, as they were considered
unnecessary. We wish the Governors of some other colonies would be equally
energetic—The Stamp News.

- THE third edition of Ketcheson’s catalogue of Canada Postage and Revenue
Stamps is not yet ready. The task has been much greater than expected as so
many new varieties have come to light since the second edition was issued, All
who have ordered them in advance need not be uneasy, as they will be well
repaid for waiting, as this will indeed be the best catalogue ever issued of B.N.A.
stamps. Those who have not already sent in their orders should do so at once.

T. S. CLARK’S second auction sale was held as advertised at Belleviile, on
the evening of April 12th, inst. Lindsay Hamilton, as auctioneer; only eight
collectors were present, but the bidding was spirited and good prices were
realized. Mr. Clark was well pleased with the result and intends holding his
third sale at Niagara Falls during the C. P. A. Convention.

I WANT an agent in every city, town and village in Canada and the United
States, to take subscriptions for this journal, and to sell stamps from my ap-
proval sheets ; they are the best in the market and I allow from 33% to 50 per
cent. commission. Send a promise to return in 10 days and get a selection on
approval. H. F. Ketcheson, box 499, Belleville, Ontario.

WE have good news for the members of the C. P. A. Just as we were going
to press we received information that the missing exchange books had turned up,
and are now in the hands of Mr. Grenny. The Association is much indebted to
Mr. E. Y. Parker, of: Toronto, who went out to Weston and interviewed Mr.
Wilby and secured the missing exchange books.

Ir large sales are any indication of success, then Ketcheson’s New Cosmo-
politan Stamp Album must.be a decided success as they are selling fast. Are
you in need of an album? Well don’t buy till you have seen the Cosmopolitan.

WE wish to call the attention of our readers to the report of the Exchange
Superintendent of the C. P, A. in this number ; although the number of filled
sheets sent in was not as large as we would expect, the percentage sold was high;

every member should patronize this department, and if you are not a member of
Ene C. P.-A. join at once.

THE members of the Senate and House of Commons of Canada have
hitherto always enjoyed the privilege. of franking their letters. We have been
informed that this privilege is to be withdrawn, and instead that each member
is to have an allowance granted him every year for postage.

Mr. P. C. JONES, of Belleville, informs us that the Numismatic Society
intends holding their annual convention at Niagara Falls the same week that the

C. P. A., meet, so we look out for a large attendance of Stamp and Coin
Pallectars at Niagara.

WE have recently seen the present issue Canada 5 ct. Register in a bright
blue; This must surely be an error and they should be rare. Has any of our
readers seen this stamp in this color?

POSTAL INFORMATION.

A Review of some of the Current Events Connected with the British Post Office.

QUEBEC, gth April, 1892.

Great Britain was represented at the Congress of the International Postal
Union in Vienna, in May. last, by Sir Arthur Blackwood, K. C. B., and Mr. H.
Buxton Foreman, who were accompanied by Messrs. C, A. King and L. A,
Marshall, of the General Post Office.

On the 25th of the same month, New South Wales, New Zealand, Queens-
land, South Australia, Tasmania, and Western Australia agreed on behalf of their
Colonies, to join the Union after 1st April, 1891.

Messrs. De la Rue made an offer to terminate their contract before its legal
close, for the supply of post cards, stamps, wrappers, etc.,for 10 years from 1892;
and a new contract was entered into which went into force Ist January, 1889,
The result was to diminish the payments to that firm by 426.000 a year, which re-
duced the price of post cards Ist July, 1889, enabling the public to obtain a packet
of ten stout cards for 6d, instead of 8d for a packet of twelve, and 5!%4d fora
packet of ten thin cards} instead of 7d for a packet of twelve. This reduction in
price may lead to a further increase of the volume of halfpenny matter which is
carried on at a loss.

Representations made to Parliament from commercial and other bodies,
that a direct system of international telegraphic communication without the in-
tervention of a private Company, should be established between England and the
neighboring continental States, the Post Office did not renew the concessions but
entered imto negotiations with the German, French, Dutch, and Belgian Govern-
ments, for the direct transmission of telegrams between the telegraph department
of England, the telegraph administrations of the other countriesconcerned. The
cables, plant and offices of the Submarine Co., was purchased by the Post Office

54 THE DOMINION PHILATELIST.

and 370 of the staff of the Company taken over by the Department. The capital
amount expended by England in this transaction was £67.163, and on the Ist
April, 1889, the new business was commenced with a uniform rate to France,
Germany, Holland and Belgium of 2d. per word, with a minimun of tod. for a
message. During 1890 there was a large increase of such telegrams, due to the
reduction of rate and charges and improved service.

The death of the Postmaster General, Rt. Hon. H. C. Raikes, took place on
the 24th August, 1891. His Successor, Sir. James Fergusson Bart, M. P. was
appointed in September. .

The present staff of the Post Office is 63,868 including 8877 females. The
number added in the year ending March 31st, 1891, was 2,814. Besides these
there are about 55,000 persons, of whom 6,000 are females employed by local
postmasters. The list of retired officers in receipt of pensions show a total of
3,367 in 1880, their pensions amounting to £177,498 a year.

GENERAL NoTES.—Having had occasion to visit Montreal of late, I decided
when starting, to jot down such notes of of a philatelic tendency as would present
themselves to me during the time of my absence from the “ Ancient Capital.”

The first item which came to my notice was while reading the “ Montreal]
Star,” therein I found a “ Query about a Stamp,” which I repeat here, as it may
prove of interest to collectors and may also be the means of getting an answer
through the columns of the ‘“ Dominion Philatelist.”. The question read:—

“Can any of your readers through any light on the date, purport and quantity
issued of a two cent adhesive stamp, unperforated, with the arms and motto of
Montreal in the centre; at the top, “Bell’s Despatch,” below in a ribbon,
“ Montreal,” in each corner within a circle the figure “ 2,” between the two bottom
ones the word “Cents.” The whole printed in one color, a pale violet ona
yellowish tinted laid paper. A square fillet forms the borders. What is its value,
and how long was it in use ? (Signed) “ ENQUIRER.”

On arrival in Montreal the object of my visit brought me to the private office
of one of the Judges of the Superior Court, and when in conversation with him I
incidentally noticed some legal documents bearing what appeared a larger number
of stamps than usually seen, and out of curiosity took up the papers in question
and made an estimate of the number of and value of the stamps. I found 32
stamps aggregating in value $86.10, among which were four of the higher values
issued some little time ago, of the denomination of $10, one single and a strip
of three. These were the first I have seen in actual use, and although desirous of
obtaining these last four in particular, the judge was unable to grant my desire.

My next move was to call upon the President of the Canadian Philatelic

Association, Dr. C. E. Cameron, and although my time was very limited, never-
theless, we managed to get down to Association matters, and which were gone
into as thoroughly as the time at our disposa! would admit.

Another matter I found interesting occured during the trip and consisted
in seeing a novel conveyance for the transportation of Her Majesty’s mails. At
one of the smaller stations the passengers were rather amused to find but one
team present, two dogs harnessed to a small sleigh, upon which was an empty
box. The mail carrier upon receiving the bag, placed same in centre of the
sleigh, covered it with the box, which then served as a seat, and the manner in

THE DOMINION PHILATELIST. 55

which that team covered the snow, and which I may say was by no means hard
and consequently hard pulling, was quite interesting to watch, and in a very
few minutes they had disappeared in the distance.

My last philatelic experience and a very pleasant one, was in the receipt of
an official invitation from Mr. J. E. Schultze, Secretary-Treasurer of the Montreal
Philatelic. Society, to attend one of their meetings called for Tuesday evening the
5th inst., which had been sent to my address at the St. Lawrence Hall. Needless

to state that I regretted exceedingly being unable to accept their kind invitation,

having to return on Sunday afternoon.
The return trip was uneventful in a philatelic point of view.

NOTES ON THE EAUREATED SERIES OF VICTORIA.

a

A, J. Derrick, in Vindin's Philatelic Monthly,

“No more complicated series exists than the stamps of Victoria themselves,”
so say the authors of “The Stamps of Oceania,” and they may have added, no

_more interesting series either,—perhaps the two are very closely connected—for

if it is true that variety is charming, then are the Victorian stamps, charming
indeed ; what with shades, types, papers, watermarks, and modes of separation,
there appear to the beginner, at any rate, an endless variety, and succession of
varieties, stretching away into the dim distance, until he feels almost bewildered
at the task he has undertaken in trying to get them together, Now, to my mind
there is no more interesting series of the stamps of Victoria than that of the
“ Laureated Head ;” extending over a period of some ten or fifteen years of the
colony’s history ; and taking the 8d. red-brown on pink wove paper as part of
the series, to a much longer period. When the series first made their appear-
ance in 1863-64, they were on paper specially prepared for them, having for a

watermark a single lined numeral of value for each denomination ; this seemed

a good plan, although with the present simple method of having one uniform
watermark for every kind of stamp, it looks a bit cumbersome, and so_ it turned
out, for very soon difficulties began to arise; the most used values began to run
out befcre the others, and the supply of the particular kind of paper needed not
having been kept up, @ fir presented itself at once; the stamps had to be pro-
duced to meet the demand, and if any other paper was used other than the right
one, the “beautiful uniformity ” was gone at once. So the “powers that then

- were,” began to cast around as to what was best to be done; and it was event-

ually determined to alter the whole thing and have one wmk. for all stamps.
This was accordingly done, and our familiar V over crown came into existence.
But they also determined—prudent souls—to use up all the old paper they had,
the accumulation of many years, before beginning with the new. Then began
to appear about 1867 and 1868 that glorious philatelic medley, the delight of

- the advanced collector and dete nozr of the beginner, 1d. wmk. 8, 2d. wmk. 6,

sixpence wmk. “threepence,” and so on to the end. How nicely the paper must
have been shuffled up before they started ; and then those printers—just as if
they foresaw the endless searchings and heartburnings and longings and joys
and disappointments that were to follow on the search for the varieties, bringing

56 THE DOMINION PHILATELIST.

into play every faculty and passion of the philatelic soul—they grimly
passed the paper at random on wmk. double four, etc. I wonder if all this
to the machine (1d. wmk. sixpence, 2d.), had never happened, whether we should
have had any real errors of watermarks in the first series. Likely enough, per-
haps! or it may really have been so. But is it not a misnomer to call all these
varieties errors of watermark ? 1 think so! for the indiscriminate use of the paper
was quite intentional. But the watermarks and values and colours are not the
only varieties that await ardent collectors, as if they were not enough! The pap-
ers varied in thickness from a very stout to a very thin, almost pelure paper, even
with the same wmk., the paper wmk. single four and double four being particular-
ly noticeable in this respect. Some catalogues say they were printed on white
and Zoned papers, but apart from the 2d. lilac wmk. V and crown on lilac tinted
papers, (which undoubtedly exists, for I have numbers both on and off the original

paper) it is more than likely that the gum is responsible for all the toning. Lots.

of stamps are found with the paper varying from a very light buff up to a clear
bright yellow ochre, but the yellowish gum used no doubt accounts for all this.
I have seen the 6d. and 4d. on very bright yellow papers, but do not believe in
any tinted papers for the series except the lilac-tinted mentioned above, which,

by the way, is given in “Oceania.” Then the guage of the perforations of these

stamps are various in the extreme, and he must be an enthusiast indeed who
undertakes the task of getting together all minor varieties of such, for one value
you have catalogued machine perf. 11%, 12, 12%, 13,and compound. Shades of
Rowland Hill, where will we end? For myself I draw the line at guaging per-
forations, except for verifying the genuineness of a stamp or of a perforated
variety. The difference of half a perforation being to my mind too microscopic
altogether. Then as to the shades of these stamps, particularly in the case of
the “ two-pence,” the variety here is almost endless. I have been informed (I
don’t know with what truth) that several times during the time these stamps
were in issue, the printers ran out of ink and had to borrow or purchase from
the ordinary printing establishments in town to keep up the supply, and it cer-
tainly looks like it, for you have them varying from a very pale cold grey shade
to the deepest violet and lilac, and from the faintest lilac to a dark grey-blue.
There are a number of varieties catalogued that I think are very much open to
question, e. g., Oceania gives most of the values zzperf. Now, I have not as yet
found the collector on this side of the world who has or has seen a gazr of these
imperf. If there is one I would like to hear from him. Of course it is quite
possible for a sheet or more to have escaped from the Post Office without perfor-
ation as the current 2d New South Wales did, and some of the current types of
Tasmania ; or again the perforating machine may possibly have been out of order
for a short time as it was with the qd fig. at sides Victoria, although this is not
very likely, as it must then have happened at several different times during the
currency of this series, for they give the 2d V. and crown as well as the early
ones imperf., but I assert that ove specimen, however wide the margins, is not evid-
ence conclusive enough of an imperforate stamp even when on original paper.

It is well known that these stamps are often found with very wide margins, and ~

the number of old Victorians found with the perforations cut off show that
certain clerks and others, and, I fear, even collectors, in olden times, must have

.
ae a Ta i

ty

THE DOMINION PHILATELIST. 57

had a mania for trimming, and, as they no doubt thought, improving stamps. A
prominent Victorian collector has some singie specimens in his books professedly
imperf., but he has placed some perforated varieties with wide margins alongside
cf them, and the two sorts are (as he intends they should be) very suggestive. I
have myself a row of six of these 4d, which show how the imperf. specimens are
or may be made. Ist. One with wide margins, with a large piece of the next
stamp included in the perforation (this could be made into a splendid imperf.).
2nd. Another with plain wide margins. 3rd. The same on original paper. 4th
and 5th. with parts of the perforations cut off, yet on original paper, and 6th, a
full-fledged imperf. on original paper, with post mark on stamp and paper, and
this, in my opinion, is how they are mostly produced, Of course it would be
foolish to assert that they do not exist imperf., but why dosen’t some one trot the
pairs out? Then, again, similar arguments may be used as to the xo watermarks
of this series. It is, of course, quite possible that unwatermarked paper was used
up in the medley with the rest, as unwatermarked stamps had been issued prior
to this, notably the 4d. fig. at sides, but it is also known that the arrangement of
the panes of watermarks was not the same in the early days as it is now, and the
impressions may just as likely as not in some cases have missed the pane as they
did in the Queen on Throne of the Victorian Reprints, and the 2s 6d St. Geo. and
Dragon Tasmania on the “Tas” paper. In my opinion most of the no wmks.
which English dealers send out here at high prices arise in this way, I have ex-
amined large quantities of these stamps lately, and it is a common thing to find,
after looking for a long time, a little trace of a single “2” or “4” just on the edge
of the stamp, or in the case of the 2d., on very thin paper, after being certain
there a no mark, you put it down, and take it up again, the eye detects an ob-
scure “2” gradually arising out of the paper, and like a puzzle picture, when you
have oe it once, it is plain enough; of course any varieties of watermark that
existed before in Victoria, or even in the adjoining colonies may exist in this
series, because of the indiscriminate use of all the paper the post office could rake
up, but I would like to hear of anyone who possesses the sixpence wmk.—single
line “4” and “no watermark” or the two pence wmk. “ sixpence’’—everything
else catalogued by Stanly Gibbens (1891.) or in “ Oceania,’ I “have, or
know of—and as long as one collector knows of the variety, others may
look for it with some hope of success—Moens gives the 4d on white laid
paper—and Oceania quotes it on his authority, but the London Philatelic
Society have never seen it. Pemberton gives in his hand book 2d. laur-
eated wmk. “2” Jdetters shaded. Oceania mentions it also, but attributes
it to a slip in the printing, making some of the lettering appear double
lined instead of solid type, the only specimen I have like this in the “2” wmk.,
has the word “ Victoria” in this way, but the value is evenly printed—but I have
another of the 2d. V and crown exactly the same; another oddity of printing is
the 4d. wmk. 4., with the word Victoria almost obliterated, Ihave two of these—and
the same reasons, for this will no doubt apply to the very many specimens found
without portions of the marginal lines. There are two varieties which do exist,
which are not generally known, and with the mention of these I will conclude
these notes; the 4d. V. and Crown is found in a later printing in a very bright
rose-aniline color, quite distinct from all other of the preceeding shades, in fact
almost another color. The “twopenny” wmk,, single line 6, has two distinct
varieties of the watermark, one elongated and thin, measuring 12 mm.x9 mm,
and the other ‘broad and round, measuring 11 mm. x 10 mm., very distinct in
appearance when the two are held up to the light together. I am waiting
anxiously for Mr. Hill to reach this series in his articles on the stamps of Victoria

THE COSMOPOLITAN

* STAMP ALBUM *

bbb be +

This album is placed before the Philatelic public as an entirely new
venture.’ It can be used’ either for Postage or Revenue Stamps,
or for both. The pages are ruled in perfect squares 36 to the square
inch ; herein lies its superiority. The idea is original with the publisher.
All advanced collectors have found ordinary albums with printed spaces

of little use ; such albums do not provide for shades, watermarks, perfora-

tions, &c., and experience has shown that albums with blank pages are

more desirable. It has also been found very difficult to arrange stamps
evenly and artistically in the ordinary blank album. The ruling solves
this difficulty and even the inexperienced can arrange stamps evenly
and in many beautiful designs without any trouble.

These albums are being copyrighted in Canada and the U. S.

They are printed on one side only on 6 ply card-board 11x14 inches
and are bound 50 sheets in a book in fine leather binding and sell at $5.00
each. The cards will be supplied at 5 cts. each. Sample card sent for 5 cts.

Do not buy an album till you have examined the Cosmopolitan.

It is bound to replace all others in the estimation of advanced col-

lectors, and collectors of Oddities, Original Covers, Revenues, &c.

Conducted by William C. Stone, Springfield, Mass., to whom all information

respecting new tssues etc., should be sent.

The figures in parenthesis after the names of the countries refer to the number of this paper containing the las
previous notice. Colors in italics represent the colors of the surcharges. All envelopes unless otherwise stated
are on white wove paper. All post cards unless otherwise stated are on buff cardboard.

ADHESIVES.

BANGKOK (_ ).—Ze Timbre Poste chronicles the 5 cents brown violet with the sur-
charge ““B” in black, but does not mention the watermark. We have had this stamp
with Crown C. C. watermark in our collection for a couple of ak at least, and it is listed
in the Scott Co’s catalogue.

BarpBavos (_ ).—New stamps are to be issued in July, according to the ae ews,
which is informed that the values will be as follows: 4, 1, 24, 5, 6, 8, 10 pence and 2s, 6d.

BrLcium (_ ).—M. Moens has received a gtc. yellow green stamp which a not
bear the word ‘‘ centimes.”

British North Borneo (_ ).—We have omitted to mention that the recently chro-
nicled 6 on to cent provisional can be found on both varieties of the 10 cent stamp, that
is with and without the ‘‘ Postage and Revenue” inscription.

Costa Rica (_ ).—The Monthly Journa/ has received a new set of stamps for this re-
public which are reported to be very fine specimens of engraving. The national arms are
engraved in the centre of each value, but the frame, etc., differs for each stamp. All are
inscribed ‘‘ Costa Rica,” ‘‘ Correosy Telegrafos,” and ‘“‘ UPU,” in a monogram. Perforate
15. 1 centavo, chalky blue; 2 centavo, orange; 5 centavo, violet ; 10 centavo, green ;
20 centavo, red; 50 centavo, ultramarine ; 1 peso bronze green on pale yellow; 2 peso,
dull red on pale grey ; 5 peso, deep blue on pale blue; 10 peso brown on buff. These
stamps are the work of Waterlow & Sons we understand.

GrenapDA (_ ).—The 2% on 8 penny exists in two types, the difference being in the
size of the numerals.

GuaTeMaLa (_ ).—The London Philatelist has seen a 10 cent of the current issue
which is engraved instead of lithographed as heretofore.

Horkar (_ ).—The stamps listed last month were issued in February according to a
letter in the London Philatelist, the two higher values on the 7th and } anna on the gth.
The ¥% anna is now printed in what the Aonthly Journal calls a violet shade of brown in-
stead of a brown shade of violet. The stamps are perforate 1414, and are manufactured
by Waterlow & Sons.

_- JeyporE (_ ).—The following letter from the British Resident at Jeypore will be of
interest to our readers. We take it from the Stamp Mews. ‘There are no Raj Service
stamps. The Engineering Department last year had these words overprinted on the
British postal labels for the purpose of keeping a check on those used in the service of the

Durbar, but on the representation of the Postal authorities this practice has been dis-
continued.” The above is dated February 17, 1892, and is signedby Colonel Hi. Fs
Peacock, Official Resident.

Lanuan (_ ).—The 6 on 8 cent exists with reversed, double and reversed double sur-
charge according to the London Philatelist.

Luxempure (— ).—Ze Timbre Poste is informed that the stamps with the head of the
Grand Duke have arrived and will soon replace the set now in use with the coat of arms.

New SoutH Wares ( ).—The London Philatelist chronicles the 20 shillings with
the “O. S.” surcharge. Watermark 5/— perforate 10. 20 shillings, blue, 4/ack.

Oxock (_ ).—And now they say that the unpaid letter stamps have received the same
surcharge as that noted last month. M. Moens gives the following: 5 centimes, black,
black ; 10 centimes, black, é/ack; 30 centimes, black, /ack ; 60 centimes, black, black
Three provisionals are chronicled by Z’Echo de la Timbrologie. ‘The surcharge con-
sists of the name “ Obock” in large letters in a horizontal line in black, with a large nu-
meral in red or black over the old value. 1 on 25¢., black on rose, d/ack and red; 2 on
15c. blue, dack and red; 4 on 15¢., blue, d/ack.

Panama (_ ).—The Stamp News is informed that the stock of the present (map ?)
issue is nearly exhausted, and that the new issue was expected to arrive from New York
on the steamer due at Panama February 27.

Perak (_ ).—Der Philatelist reports a new value of the “tiger” set. 8 cent, orange.

PortuGaL (_ ).—We learn from Ze Timbre that the new stamps are nearly ready for
issue. They will bear a portrait of King Carlos in an oval, with the value above, *‘ Por-
tugal ” at left, “ Correios” at right, ‘‘Continente” at the bottom. The values etc., are to
be as follows ; 2 reis, grey; 2% reis, black ; 5 reis, bistre ; 10 reis, violet on red ; 15 reis,
violet on blue; 20 reis, dark green; 25 reis, dark blue; 50 reis, bright blue; 75 reis,
sepia ; 80 reis, bright green; 100 reis, lilac; 150 reis, carmine ; 200 reis, blue; 300 reis,
red ; 500 reis, black ; 1000 reis, blue. Some of the higher values will be printed either in
in two colors or on colored paper. The stamps for the Azores will have the word
“Continente ” replaced by “ Angra” “Harta,” and “ Ponta Delgada,” the names of the
districts into which the Islands are divided. We judge from the wording of the paragraph
that there is to be a set for each district with a possibility of another inscribed “ Funchal ”
for Maderia.

Puerto Rico (_ ).—The following are the remaining values of the set noted last
month. 4 mil de peso, ultramarine ; 6 mil de peso, rose ; 2 cent de peso, bistre ; 10 cent
de peso, bright rose ; 40 cent de peso, color not stated.

RoumMaANIA (_ ).—The 50 bani unpaid stamp was issued in green on the sixteenth of
February. 50 bani, green. :

Russia ( ).—Ze Zimbre Poste reports the discovery of a 14 kopec with reversed
eagle and post horns.

Saint Lucia (_ ).—Another surcharged provisional is reported. The 6 penny lilac
and blue has been cut in half vertically, and each half surcharged “14d” in black. Nine
thousand six hundred were issued. 4 on half of 6p., blue and lilac, d/ack ; of the provis-
ionals noted last month, the following quantities were issued : 1/ on 3 pence, 4,300, 1 on
4 pence, 6,700.

SAINT THOMAS AND PRINCE (_ ).—The London Philatelist is informed that the 40
reis stamp was surcharged “Rs. 50” in large type in a frame, sometime in August or Sep-
tember, last, on account of a temporary shortage of that value in Prince Island, there
being no time to send to Saint Thomas before the Lisbon steamer sailed. Only 180
were issued and 80 of these were used for this particular mail. Who got the rest? 50 reis
on 4o r., brown, black.

THE DOMINION PHILATELIST. 61

SARAWAK (_ ).—The three cent stamp has received the surcharge ‘“ One Cent” across
the original value. 1 cent on 3c., lilac and blue, ddack.

SHANGHAI (_ ).—We have not noted the fact that the current stamps were issued
January 7 with the surcharge “ Postage Due” in large gothic type because we have been
expecting to receive further information concerning them from our correspondent at” that
place. We will not delay longer however but give the list which is as follows: 2 cents,
brown, 6/ack ; 5 cents rose, b/ack; 10 cents, black, b/ack ; 15 cents, blue, black ; 20 cents,
lilac, back. The perforation on the 2 cent is 12, while on the other values it is 15. The
2, 10 and 20 cent are watermarked.

STRAITS, SETTLEMENTS (_ ).—Two high value stamps of the Seychelles type are an-
nounced by Senf Brothers in their paper. Watermark Crown C. A., perforate 14,
25 cents, brown and green, 50 cents olive and carmine.

STRAITS SETTLEMENTS (_ ).—The 6 cents is the latest to suffer form the surcharge
fever. It has been overprinted “ONE CENT” in black in two lines, the old value being
erased with a bar. “1 cent on 3¢. lilac, d/ack.

- TasMANIA (_ ).—We learn from the London Philatefist that the permanent 2% and 5
penny stamps are of the same general design as the Leeward Islands. Watermark TAS,
perforate 14. 24 penny, dull reddish mauve; 5 penny, pale blue and brown.

Tonca (_ ).—The Philatelic Record is authority for the statement that the one penny
stamp has been surcharged ‘‘Four Pence” in two lines of thick capitals, and that the 2 penny
value has been similarly outraged with “ Eight Pence.” The date of issue was November
23, 1891. A change of rates is probably the cause. 4 pence on rp. rose, black; 8 pence
on 2p. violet, d/ack. The exact date of issue of the first*stamps is said to have been
September 1, 1886.

TurRKEY (_ ).—The new stamps are now in use. They are much larger than the pre-
vious issues being about the size of the first issue. They have the arms in a circle in the
centre with Turkish inscriptions above and below in small labels. The value is expressed
in both Turkish and French. ‘The unpaid stamps are of the same design and are all print-
ed in black. The date of issue was March 13, (March 1 old style,) that being the com-
mencement of the financial year. Perforate 133, to paras, dull green; 20 paras, rose
I piaster, grey ; 2 piaster, bistre ; 5 piaster, dulllilac. Unpaid, 20 paras, black ; 1 piaster,
black; 2 piaster, black.

Urucuay (_ ).—Four new stamps for this republic are chronicled by the AZonthdy
Journal. ‘They are said to be narrower than usual, and the arms form the most prominent
part of the design, the accessories being different for each value. The stamps are the
work of Waterlow & Son of London, and are perforate 15. 1 centesimo, green; 2
centesimo, carmine ; 5 centesimo, blue ; 10 centesimo, orange.

ENVELOPES.

New Sour Wates (_ ).—The surcharged registration envelope has been replaced
by the permanent issue. The design is the same as the four penny. 3 pence, red on
white. We are not aware of how many sizes are in use.

QUEENSLAND (_ ).—Le Timbre Poste chronicles three one penny envelopes but fails
to give the design of the stamp. We suppose however that it is the same as the adhesive.
I penny, red on white laid, 137x78 mm. 1 penny, red on blue laid, 137x738 mm. 1
penny, red on buff wove, 142x78 mm. It seems quite probable that these are all of the
printed to order variety. Two different ornaments are found on the flaps of the blue en-
velopes.

Tonca (_ ).—A registration envelope has been issued that is simply gorgeous. The
stamp on the flap consists of the arms of the country and include fishes, crowns, stars,

62 THE DOMINION PHILATELIST.

crosses, ship and flags. The value is placed at each side of the arms and “Tonga Regi-
stration is curved above. ‘The face of the envelope is inscribed like the British colonials,
with the addition of the name. 6 pence, red on bluish. 6 pence red on white. Accord-
ing to the Stamp News the first of the above was issued October 1, 1891, and replaced by
the other on January 1, 1892. The size of the first is 117x81 mm., while the second
exists in two sizes, 151x98 mm. and 225xto1 mm. ‘The frank stamp chronicled in 1887
which is inscribed ‘Tonga Government Frank” in a doubie circle with a crown and 1a
stovepipe hat between two laurel branches in the centre has been printed on white wove
envelopes, 221x120 mm. ‘The impression is in black and the envelope inscribed “on his
Majesty’s Service” in the right upper corner and “‘ Tonga 189,” in the lower left.

WRAPPERS,

New SoutH Wares (_ ).—Vindin’s Philatelic Monthly says that “a wrapper has
been issued with the current surcharged “ Halfpenny” stamp in the same color as the ad-
hesive, printed on the band watermarked “One Penny.” The Philatelic Record intreprets
this to mean that the old 1 penny wrappers have heen surcharged with the new value.
We think however that it will be found that the stamp referred to is the provisional (?) 4
printing the rt p. die in grey and then surcharging. We await confirmation before listing.

QUEENSLAND (_ ).—Le Zimbre Foste also chronicles a rp. band on white paper,
28o0xt1zmm., without giving the design. 1 penny, red.

POST CARDS.

BarpBapos (_ ).—The Stamp (ews has the information that the 11% penny was issued
March 9th, with the same surcharge as that recently reported on the double card. 1
penny, on 1% p. brown ; wolet.

Bavaria (_ ).—The 5 pfennig is now dated 92. Watermark vertical undulations.
5 pfennig, green, 92.

Cyprus (_ ).—Three double cards have been issued according to the ///ustriertes
Briefmarken Journal. ‘They are of the same type as the single ones. 4x} piaster, green
on white; 1xr piaster, carmine on light buff ; 13x14 piaster, brown on dark buff.

Jamaica ( ).—The 1 penny card is now 140x89 mm. ‘The stamp is of the old type
and the inscriptions are somewhat changed. 1 penny, blue.

GREAT BRITAIN (_ ).—Messrs. Gardener, Hinton and MacMillan have our thanks
for specimens of the new 1 penny cards. The inscriptions are in four lines and are as
follows: ‘‘ Union Postale Universelle—Post Card—Great Britian and Ireland—(Grande
Bretagne et Irelande.)—The address only to be written on this side.” The stamp is the
same as that on the obsolete 3 p. with the value altered. 1 penny, red ; 1x1 penny, red.

Hone Konc (_ ).—There is a double 3 cent card similar in design to the single
one. 3x3 cents, brown.

MoNTENEGRO ) _ ).—Again these cards have been slightly changed. The arms and
inscriptions are now in black and the stamp in yellow or green, and the borders are
omitted. 2 novcics, yellow and black ; 2x2 novcics, yellow and black ; 3 novcics, green
and black ; 3x3 novcics, green and black. ‘I'he reply cards are said to have the inscrip-
tion “La carte ci-jointe,” on the wrong half of the card. The London Philatelist has
seen the 2x2 novcics with no stamp on the first half and also with none on the reply half.

NETHERLANDS (_ ).—T. Francis Kohler sends us a card with the new stamp on the
right hand corner, and says that it was issued April 7. ‘The rest of the design is unchanged,
the arms of course being in the left corner. 5 cents, blue on blue.

NEWFOUNDLAND (_ ).—We have received a double 2 cent card from A. Lohmeyer.
It is of the same size as the other Colonial Postal Union Cards and has a stamp similar
to that on 14 p. Cape of Good Hope, 2xec. red,

THE DOMINION PHILATELIST. 63

PILIPPINES (| ).—M. Moens chronicles a 5 cent card with the “baby” stamp. 5
cent de peso, orange on brownish buff ; 5 cent de peso, orange on yellow buff.

SERVIA ( ).—Another change in the cards took place the first of March. The
general design is the same, but the top inscription is now 66$x5mm. and the first dotted
line is much shorter than before and has a script ““T” before it. The notice at the bot-
tom is in the left corner instead of the centre. 5 paras, green ; 5xs paras, green, T. 3.
We are indebted to Mr. Lohmeyer for a sight of the above.

STRAITS SETTLEMENTS (_ ).—We understand that the two cent cards are now in use
and that they are similar to the 1 cent. 2 cents, carmine ; 2x2 cents, carmine.

SEYCHELLES (_ ).—These islands are keeping up with the rest of the procession. Two
new cards have just been issued of the usual design. 4x4 cents, carmine ; 8x8 cts., brown.

TuRKEY ( ).—There are two cards with the new stamp. White card, 132x88mm.

20 paras, dull red ; 20x20 paras, dull red.

FORGED INDIAN STAMPS.

The report of the Indian Postmaster-General for the past year contains an
interesting account of the manner in which a large number of stamps of the
value of one rupee each were forged. The forger was a Poona Brahmin, who was
formerly in the service of the Trigonometrical Survey. He had prepared a die
of the one-rupee stamp in white stone, which was set in wood, and thirty-nine of
these dies had been made from time to time before he succeeded in producing a
sufficiently accurate representation of the original stamp. This die was
thoroughly cleaned with kokam, or mangosteen, and then covered with an oily
substance or ink of the colour of the one-rupee stamp, which was carefully spread
over it with the finger. A piece of paper was then placed on the die, and rub-
bed with a shell, and on being removed was found to bear a wonderfully close
representation of the genuine stamp. The stamp so produced was then placed
with its face down on a piece of metal, moistened with water, and had a water-
mark die, that had been separately prepared, gently hammered upon it. It was
afterwards put upon a small square of tin, of the same size as the genuine stamp,
marked with the correct number of holes for the purpose of perforation, and care-
fully perforated with a small needle-like instrument. The whole process occupied
about ten minutes. The number of counterfeit stamps successfully passed by
the forger and his accomplices was about 1,000. The forger and his chief ac-
complice, a stamp. vendor, were prosecuted in the Bombay High Court, and sen-
tenced to ten years’ transportation each. A few of the counterfeit stamps found
their way into the Bombay Post Office through the complicity of some of the
clerks, and one of these committed suicide when the forger was arrested. A new
one-rupee stamp, combining two colors, was in consequence introduced. It is
interesting to notice that only two frauds connected with the telegraphic money
order system are recorded in this year’s report, and in one of these the person
committing the fraud committed suicide before he could be arrested. A curious
incident in connection with the Bombay Post Office is recorded. Over 1,100
unpaid covers, all posted at one office and addressed to persons at one town in
Khandeish, were received by the Bombay Dead Letter Office as undeliverable,
all of them having been refused with one consent by the persons to whom they
were addressed. When these strange communications. were opened, each was
found to contain simply a blank piece of paper. The sender turned out to be a
person of unsound mind, who adopted this method of communicating his
thoughts to local officials—From the Times.

A VISITOR, with whom we have formed a most agreeable acquaintance, is
Mr. C. S. Wallis, of Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. He is a highly cultured
gentleman, and is one among many others who find in the collecting and study
of stamps a pleasure, pastime and recreation. His collection numbers some
6,000 or 7,000 and includes many arare stamp. As with numerous of our most
prominent philatelists, his interest commenced with childhood, and its fascina-
tions increased with time. Mr. Wallis travels considerably, and stopped over in
St. Louis a day on his way to Southern Missouri, where he is interested in min-
ing property.—Mekeel’s Weekly.

Mr. T..S, CLARK informs us that he has a specimen of the 1868 2d. in d/ue
on the original envelope.

WE have seen recently specimens of the Canada 1857 % penny on paper
ribbed horizontally and longitudinally ; the latter we consider a great rarity.

Mr, Emi J. RALL, of Savannah, Georgia, leaves in a few days for Europe,
where he intends staying for fouror five months. He has gone to visit relatives
at Hanovery, Germany.

By the time this number of our journal reaches its readers, the third edition
of Ketcheson’s Catalogue of Canadian Stamps will be ready for mailing. Much
delay has occurred in getting out this catalogue, but subscribers will be well
repaid. It catalogues many varieties of Canadian Stamps hitherto unknown,
and gives the various varieties of paper and watermarks.

WE had the pleasure,a few days ago of spending several hours with Mr.
Fred. Ineson, Carleton West. Mr. Ineson is an enthusiastic stamp collector,
confining himself to British North American, postage, revenue and British

Colonial. He is a charter member of the C.P.A. He was accompanied by his

brother, Mr. Farrar Ineson, who is as enthusiastic a coin collector as Fred. is of
stamps. We were pleased to have them cal] and enjoyed their visit very much.

THE DOMINION PHILATELIST.

THE following C.P.A. members have signified their intention of being
present at the C.P.A, convention in August: T.S. Clark, W. K. Hall, Fred.
Ineson, H. F. Ketcheson and P. C. Jones. We would like all other members of
the C.P.A. who intend attending the convention to drop a card and let us know,
as we wish to make the best hotel rates possible for visitors.

THE following item appeared in the May number of the Amertcan Plut-
atelist :—“In the Long Island Philatelist for April, “ Area” seems to have a rather
singular idea of perspective, as applied to philatelic literature. At the same
time he is frank and quite welcome to express his opinion. He does not seem
to have noticed, however, that Mr. Stone prepares the same chronicle for the
American Philatelist, the A/etropolitan Philatelist and the Dominion Philatelist,
It would not be amiss for him to notice in which of these journals the chronicle
appears earliesteach month.” Several ofour contemporaries have spoken of our
Chronicle as though they thought we reprinted same from the American Philatelist,
Such is not the case. We madea contract with W. C. Stone to prepare a
chronicle for this paper, for which service we pay him.

POST-MASTER-GENERAL’S REPORT.

From the Post-Master General’s Report we glean the following: There are
now 8061 offices in operation with 58905 miles of Postal Route. The total num-
ber of ordinary letters posted during the year was 97,975,000; Post Cards, 20,-
300,000 ; Registered Letters, 3,292,000, There were during the year 155 cases
of abstraction of contents or portions of contents or loss of registered letters con-
taining money, sent through the Canadian Post Office. This is an increase of
only six over last year and is a strong proof of the efficacy of the special mea-
sures taken in 1880, to increase the safety of registered correspondence, whilst in
transit by mail. Of the 155 cases, the contents or a portion thereof were recov-
ered from the offices responsible in 98 instances ; of the remaining 57 cases they
were either stolen from Post Offices by burglars or no evidence could be obtained
to account for their loss.“ Inquiries would be much facilitated if persons receiv-
ing registered letters would be careful not to destroy the envelope before having
fully verified the accuracy of the alleged contents,” Complaints of defective
mucilage would be far less frequent if the public would kindly bear in mind that
it is the envelope of a letter or the cover of a Packet and not the postage stamp
which should be moistened when stamps are affixed in pre-payment of postage.
When a stamp is passed over the tongue, the mucilage is frequently almcst
wholly removed.

The following is a list of the stamps issued to Postmasters for sale during the
year: 1% cent, 618,010; 1 cent, 43,370,091 ;, 2 cent; 11,050,200), 3)cent, 73, 714: 195.

The total revenue of the Canada P. O. Dept for the year was. $3,374,887.66,
total expenditure $4,020,739.94, leaving a deficit of $645,852.28.

- The revenue of the Department has increased 5 fold during the last 20
years.

The fourth Universal Postal Union Congress met at Vienna, Austria, on the
20th May, 1891, and continued in session for six weeks. Ait this Congress Can-
ada was ably represented by the High Commissioner at London, the Hon. Sir:
Charles Qupper, Bart.;’C.B, G.C.M.G.

The principal measures agreed upon, which are of practical interest to Can-
ada were (1) the admission of the Australian Colonies to the Postal Union ; (2)
the issue of reply post cards by every country of the Union; (3) the increase of
the limits of size for sample packets ; (4) the treatment as unpaid letters of the
post cards of one country posted in another; (5) the arrangement that letters
posted on board mail steamers when at sea should be prepaid by means of the
postage stamps of the country to which the packet belongs, or under whose flag
she sails; but that when a mail steamer is in port the letters posted on her
should be prepaid with the stamps of the country in whose waters she is.

Other arrangements were made with reference to (1) the exchange of closed
mails with ships of war on foreign stations ; (2) the treatment of undelivered let-
ters ; (3) the establishment of a central clearing house for adjusting the transit
postage accounts between the countries of the Union; (4) the repression of
attempts to defraud by the use of forged or cleaned stamps.

It was agreed that the meeting of the next Congress should be he!d at Wash-
ington, D.C., United Statés.

A direct parcel post exchange went into operation with Japan on the 18th
October, 1890 ; and with Barbados on the 18th April, 1891. The general regula-
tions governing these exchanges are practically the same as in the case of that
with the United Kingdom. Negotiations are in progress for the establishment
of a direct parcel post with other islands in the West Indies and with Hong Kong

A FEW WORDS ON THE UNPAID LETTER STAMPS OF GREECE.

By C. f.. Socatis.

It is well known that the Greek tax and unpaid letter stamp was approved
long after the ordinary stamps were in circulation. At that time the majority
of letters were unstamped, or insufficiently stamped, and the unpaid postage was
collected by means of ordinary postage stamps. It is believed that letters were
posted in this way to guard against their being lost, but at any rate the custom
of using postage stamps for this purpose gave rise to many complaints, so that
on the 27th September, 1872, a decree was issued, ordering the manufacture of a
a special stamp which should be affixed on unpaid letters. This decree was not
put into force for some time, on account of modifications and adjournments, and
had only began to be made use of during 1875, z.¢., at the time of, or following |
the reduction of postage and the regulation of the postal service.

The decree of the 27th September, 1872, is composed of nine articles, of
which the second gives a description of the new stamps, which were to be similar

68 THE DOMINION PHILATELIST.

in design to the first issue of the French unpaid letter stamps. The following is
a copy of the articles:

“This special stamp must be square shaped, and each side the length of
twenty millimetres, and bear in the lower label the words ‘Greek stamp’ under-
neath the value. On each side will be the word ‘fost’ In the centre and at the
top there will be figures of value of equal size to the borders at the side. In the
middle the word “ Lepta,” and underneath this the words ‘To be paid at sight.’
There will be twelve values, viz.: I, 2, 5, 10, 30, 40, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 200 lepta.
They will be printed on yellowish paper. The administration, control, &c., will
be under the existing rules.”

It will be noticed that the above article does not mention the colour of the
stamp. The above decree was not put into force, and on the 23rd January, £375,
another appeared, of which the following is a copy:

“Referring to the decree of the 27th September, 1872, at the suggestion of
our home secretaries and financiers :

ARTICLE 1.—The tax stamp, which should be made according to article 2 in
in the decree mentioned above, is of rectangular shape; height, 0°02 m.; width,
O.o245 mi,

(Here follows the description of the well-known stamps, which are printed in
black and green.)

ARTICLE 2.—The stamps are to be of twelve kinds, viz., I, 2, 5, 10, 20, 40,
60, 70, 80, 90 lepta, and 1 and 2 drachme.

ARTICLE 3.—The rules concerning the tax stamp will be adopted from Ist
March, 1875.

The stamps were made according to the design approved of by the Consul
General of Trieste, and the Imperial Printing-office of Vienna. They are to be
found in three colors—dark green, green, and yellow-green ; and the perforation
was made by small machines, which were changed from time to time according
to the taste of the Austrians. Mr. Glasewald, in his catalogue, mentions 14, 14%,
and 15%, but I believe there are many others. Of these unpaid letter stamps
there are two issues, of which nearly everyone knows the difference In one set
the figures representing the value are larger, the letters above the figures are larger,
and the figures I in 10 and in 100 lepta are quite different. The stamps of the
first issue are 21 m. wide, and slightly under 25 mm. high; and although the width
of the second issue is also 21 mm., the height is about a millimetre smaller than
the others. The circular space in the centre is also different, being 19 mm. in
diameter on the first issue, and 18 mm. on the second. In the space between the
two white circles the groundwork in green, that on which the inscription is printed
is 244m. on the first issue, and only 2m. on thesecond issue. The dividing lines
between the stamps are very large and easily distinguished on the early stamps,
whereas they are scarcely visible on those of the second issue. Another point is,
that all those of the second issue are printed in bright yellowish-green; and a
further point of difference is, that the paper of the first is thick, whereas that of
the second is thinner, of a much rougher texture, and yellowish instead of white,
Ot course, the higher values are easily distinguished, and in the first issue they
are described as 1 and 2 drachme, and in the second as 100 and 200 lepta. It is
almost impossible to obtain official dated, owing to the complicated nature of the

SEES es

THE DOMINION PHILATELIST. 69

postal service in Greece. The post depends upon the financiers and home ministers.
The reason for the change in the two high values can be easily understood ; owing
to the great similarity in the appearance, those of 1 and 2 drachme were frequently
mistaken by the clerks for stamps of I and 2 lepta, and consequently caused con-
siderable confusion ; but in order to rectify this it was suggested that the higher
stamps should be printed in lepta, although no decree was published on the subject.
Except that the value were the same, the decree of the 27th September, 1872.
was cancelled by another of the 30th September, 1880. The impression of the
new values were made from new blocks, which were made for the printing of
other values.

The dates at which the second issue took place is not easily fixed, because,
as I have before remarked, no official dates can be found, and consequently the
date of their coming into circulation can only be approximately fixed. Accord-

_ing to this same decree, the obliteration of these tax stamps was to be made by
the stamp of each Post-office using them, instead of by the dotted lozenge-shaped
post-mark. Obliterated stamps of the second issue with the latter postmark
are to be found, but none of this issue had come under my notice before 1878,
which is probably the year they were issued, as most catalogues place them
between the years 1878-82. The paper of the stamps of the second issue is, as
I have before stated, of a yellowish tint, z.¢., the same as decided upon by the
decree of 1872. Perhaps these stamps were printed before those of the so-called
first issue, in which case, what we now call the second issue would really be the
first, and vice versa. Although I do not accept this theory, it is the only solu-
tion I can give for the time being.— Stamp News.

WE have received letters from two prominent collectors in the Sandwich
Islands, from which we gather with pleasure that the inhabitants of Hawaii have
determined that their country shall not be a party to any transactions such as
came to light during the Assmus trial. Mr. W. F. Reynolds informs
us that the result of a conversation between himself and another collector
was a decision to interview the Postmaster-General who is a business man
of sound principle, and who agrees that it is improper for the Govern-
ment to destroy or disarrange values of stamps which are long obsolete,
and have therefore assumed a value which could not otherwise accrue. The
result of this conversation is, that the Postmaster-General has decided that all the
amps viz: 2c., tose bo55, S¢., blue. 1883; and 13c., rose, 1883, are hereafter
to have the word “reprint” stamped on them, and that none of these will be
sold without this word, so that the value of the originals will at once be es-
tablished. Mr. Reynolds points out a matter which is not generally known. In
1866, when the new rate of postage to America came into effect, the dark 5c. was
used, and the sc. and I3c. of 1853 then became useless. Mr. Brickwood, who
was Post-master-General at the time, had every sheet of 5c. on 1I3c. surcharged
with the word “specimen,” which is consequently a proof of their being genuine
originals. Mr. Reynolds favours us with reprints and originals of this issue, the
latter, of course, being surcharged with the word “specimen,” as stated above.
There are certain differences between the two, the chief one being that the

70 THE DOMINION PHILATELIST.

paper of the reprint is much whiter, and that the gum is also lighter in the re-
prints than in the originals. But when we come to examine the types of the so-
called reprints, we find that even these differ slightly, which is probably due to
the plate having been touched up. Seeing the two side by side, the differences
are very easy to detect, but even otherwise we do not think the reprints would
be difficult to distinguish.— Samp News.

SOMETHING WEW4

THE COSMOPOLITAN

: STAMP ALBUM #

This album is placed before the Philatelic public as an entirely new
venture. It can be, used either. for Postage or )evenne =o tause
or for both. The pages are ruled in perfect squares 36 to the square
inch ; herein lies its superiority. The idea is original with the publisher.
All advanced collectors have found ordinary albums with printed spaces
of little use ; such albums do not provide for shades, watermarks, perfora-
tions, &c., and experience has shown that albums with blank pages are
more desirable. It has also been found very difficult to arrange stamps
evenly and artistically in the ordinary blank album. The ruling solves
this difficulty and even the inexperienced can arrange stamps evenly

and in many beautiful designs without any trouble.
These albums are being copyrighted in Canada and the U. S.

They are printed on one side only on 6 ply card-board 11x14 inches
and are bound 50 sheets in a book in fine leather binding and sell at $5.00
each. The cards will be supplied at 5 cts. each. Sample card sent for 5 cts.

Do not buy an album till you have examined the Cosmopolitan.

It is bound to replace all others in the estimation of advanced col-

lectors, and collectors of Oddities, Original Covers, Revenues, &c.

CHROMICEES OF NEW ISSUES, ETC.

Conducted by William C. Stone, Springfield, Mass., to whom all information
respecting new issues, etc., should be sent.

The figures in parenthesis after the names of the countries refer to the number of this paper containing the last
previous notice Colors in italics represent the colors of the surcharges. All envelopes unless otherwise stated
are on white wove paper. All post cards unless otherwise stated are on buff cardboard.

ADHESIVES.

ANTIOQUIA.—Three new stamps are announced for this department. ‘The general
design is that of the current Santander stamps, but the lettering is larger and the angles,
ete., are filled in with ornamental work, and and the numeral of-value is in a small
rectangle instead of an oval. The ornaments in the angles are different
in each value. Perforate 13. 1 centavo, brown on brownish. 2% centavo, violet on
lilac. 5 centavo, black on grey.

AustTriIA,—It is rumored that there will soon be a change in the currency a decimal
basis being probable, with the franc as the unit of value. This will, of course, necessitate
a new deal in the stamp line, including probably Hungary and Bosnia. So says Le
Timbre Poste.

Brazi1, U.S. or.—One of our exchanges announces the issue of a new value of the
“constellation ” type. 1000 reis, bistre.

Cook Istanps FEDERATION.—The JZonthly Journal has been informed that this
group of islands have had stamps prepared at the Government Printing office in Welling-
ton, New Zealand. They are said to be type set with seven stars in the centre, “ Postage ”
“Cook Islands” in two straight lines above, ‘‘ Federation” and value in words below ; the
border is similar to that of the New Zealand officials. They are perforate 13 and the
number issued is given in brackets. 1 penny, black (2760). 1% penny, mauve (2580).
2% penny, blue (2820). 10 penny, carmine (480.) The Cook Islands are situated in the
Southern Pacific ocean, midway between the Navigator (Samoa) and Society (Tahiti)
groups. Raratonga, the principal island, is one of the most successful mission stations
in Polynesia. The population of the group is largely Christian. Raratonga, Atiou,
Harvey and Mangeia are the principal islands. The group is sometimes called the
Harvey archipelago, ‘They are independent we believe.

FRANCE.—We have received from Joseph Rechert a specimen of the new 15 centimes.,
It is printed on paper covered with a faint quadrille pattern that is almost unnoticeable.
15 centimes, blue; Quadrille groundwork.

FRENCH Conco.—The 25 centimes has been surcharged “Congo Francais toc.” in
two lines like the 5 cent on the same stamp recently issued. Only 1500 were issued
according to the decree authorizing this, and the 5 cent stamp mentioned above. There
were 2000 of the 5 cent issued. roc. on 25c., black on rose, 4/ack. For some unknown
reason the surcharge is reversed on all the specimens seen.

72 THE DOMINION PHILATELIST.

FRENCH GUIANA.—Too impatient to await quietly the issue of the special stamps for
each colony the officials in Cayenne have authorized by a decree dated February 8, 1892,
the surcharging of all the current stamps with the word “GUYANE.” It is applied
slantingly from the left lower to the right upper corner. 1 centime, black on blue, 2
centimes, brown on bistre; 4 centimes, violet on blue; 5 centimes, green on greenish ;
to centimes, black on violet ; 15 centimes, blue,on bluish ; 20 centimes, red on green ;
25 centimes, black on rose; 30 centimes, brown; 35 centimes, black on orange; 40
centimes, vermilion on bistre ; 75 centimes, carmine on rose ; 1 franc, bronze on green,
Not content with the above long list the same surcharge was also applied to the 30 cent
head of liberty, and the 30c., 4oc , 75c. and ¥ fr. of the 1877-79 type. 30 centimes,
brown (head) ; 35 centimes, black on yellow, (1877-9) ; 40 centimes, vermilion on straw,
(1877-9) ; 75 centimes, carmine on rose, (1877-9); 1 franc, bronze on green (1877-9). All
of the above are surcharged in black.

Great Britian.—The 1 pound stamp with the crown watermark was issued March
9, with the “I. R. Official” surcharge. 1 pound, green ; &/ack.

Haiti —According to M. Roussilon the current set, with the exception of the 2 cent
exists, perforate 16 as well as 133.

Liperia.—We are indebted to S. C. Skipton for the information that a new set has
been prepared for use. It is the work of Waterlow & Sons, and is one of the handsomest
series issued. The 1, 21 and 24 cent and the 2 dollar have a star in the centre, the 4
cent an elephant, the 6 cent a palm tree, the 8 cent and the 5 dollar a portrait of Ex-
President Johnson (1884-1892), the 12 cent a native woman in full evening dress, the 16
and 32 cent the ship, plough, etc., forming the arms of the country; the r dollar has a
hippopotamus and together with the 4 cent is oblong. All are perforate 15 and water-
marked with a sort of a quatrefoil. The vignettes in the 4, 8 cent and 5 dollar are in
black. 1 cent, vermilion; 2 cent, blue; 4 cent, black and green ; 6 cent, green; 8 cent,
black and brown ; 12 cent, carmine ; 16 cent, lilac ; 24 cent, green on yellow; 32 cent,
blue green; 1 dollar, black and ultramarine ; 2 dollar, brown on yellow; 5 dollar, black

and carmine.
Mexico.—The Revue Philateligue is informed that a set of unpaid letter stamps of the

values of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 20 cents have been issued for use in the state of Morelia.
The design is quite similar to those already described for Vera Cruz, etc. We do not
take much stock in these labels, as they are probably private ventures of the postal
officials in the towns where they hail from. We shall wait more definite information as to
their official origin before listing them. Morelia, by the way, is not a state, but a city of
some 24,000 inhabitants and the capital of the State of Michoacan.

Nasua.—The 1 anna 6 pies is the latest victim of the surcharge. 1 anna 6 pies,
bistre, bZack.

New SoutH Wates.—Mr. George Callf the well known English Dealer has discovered
a copy of the 2 penny perforate of the 1856 issue (diamond head) with a double lined “8”

for watermark. Its genuineness is established beyond doubt, the London Philatelist states.

1856, 2 pence, blue; wmk. 8. Two parcel stamps for use on the government railways |

are illustrated in the last Z?mdbre Poste. \arge numerals of value on centre with ‘ Govern-
ment Railways New South Wales” around, “ Parcels Stamp” in upper corners, perforate
ro. Size 40 mm. square. 3 pence, dark blue; 6 pence, brick red. ‘The six penny has
the value in small circles in the lower corners.

PortuGaL.—We are indebted to E. T. Barrows for the 25 reis stamp. It is similar to
the description given last month except that ‘‘ Portugal” is on the right and “Correios”
on the Jeft as we stated. The value at the top is expressed “Rs. 25 Rs.” The perfor
ation is 12, aud the color green instead of dark blue as stated last month, 25 reis, green-

THE DOMINION PHILATELIST. 73

QUEENSLAND.—Le Collectionneur de Timbres Poste learns from a local journal that a
new set of stamps is in preparation, the values being 1%, 1, 2, 3, 6 pence and 1 and 5
shillings ; the 2 sh., 2sh.6p., ro sh. and r pound will still be furnished by the authorities
and will serve for postal and revenue purposes as before. Vindin’s Philatelic Monthly
makes known a series of Railway postal stamps. They are a little larger than the English
5 sh. and are inscribed “ Queensland Government Railways.” ‘‘ Newspapers and Parcels;”
in the centre is a locomotive. 1 penny, rose; 3 penny, brown; 6 penny, brown; 1 sh.violet.

SaRAwAk,—Mr. Fildes of the Manchester, England society, has a strip of three of the
“one cent ” on 3 cent stamps containing an error ‘“‘ceht.”

STRAITS SETTLEMENTS.—M. Moens reports the 24 cent with the surcharge “one cent”
and the Gazette Timbrologique says that the 12 cent exists with the same. 1 cent on 24
cents, green, d/ack ; 1 cent on 12 cents, brown violet, /ack ; 1 cent on 2 cents.

TRAVANCORE.—ZLe Zimbre Poste announces the following changes of color in the 1 and
4 chuckrums. As the new color of the 4c. is the same as that of the 2c. we shall possibly
hear of a change in that value also. 1 chuckrum, green ; 4 chuckrum, rose.

TurkEyY.—The 20 paras of the new set has been surcharged “ Imprime ” ina rectangle,
20 paras, rose, ddack.

ZULULAND.—The Stamp News says that new stamps of 9 pence, 1 and 5 shillings are
soon to be issued to be followed by the 5 penny.

ENVELOPES.

BERMUDA.—Registration envelopes of the usual colonial type. Size 133x83 mm., 2
pence, ultramarine.

Brazit, U. S. Or.—The envelope noted a short time ago was on laid paper. The
Monthly Journal has received it on wove paper in two sizes, 100 reis, red; 152x92mm.,
100 reis, red ; 134XI1o mm.

Great Britain.—On the 29th of March several changes were made in the colors of
the envelope stamps. The 2% has already been noted and the others are as follows, the
list being compiled from the Stamp News. 14 penny, chrome yellow on blue; 13x13
penny, chrome yellow on blue; 14 penny, chrome yellow on white ; 2 penny, red on white ;
2 penny, red on blue; 2x2 penny, red on blue ; 24x24 penny, blue on white; 10 penny,
brown on white; 10 penny, brown on blue. No sizes are mentioned but we suppose the
common one, 138x80 mm. is the one.

Liperta.—The London Philatelist has received three registration envelopes of the
current type, each being printed in a different shade although the instructions are all in
deep blue. 10 cents, dark blue, 132x82mm; 10 cents, dull red lilac, 150x98mm ; Io
cents, blue green, 227x100mm.

Monaco.—A 15 cent envelope with the new type of stamp was issued March 6. Size
122x94mm., 15 centimes, rose on pale green.

‘TasMANIA.—New registration envelopes are said to be in use. They are similar to
the old issue but the stamp bears no indication of value being inscribed, simply “Tas-
mania Registration Fee.” The Philatelic Record gives the color as red, while Le Zimbre
Poste calls it blue. Which is right? Sizes 132x32mm. and 150x98mm. The S/amp
News has some new envelopes with ‘the old circular stauwp.”. They measure 120x67mm.
and are most likely printed to order. 1 penny, red on white ; 1 penny, red on pale lilac ;
I penny, red on blue ; penny, red on pink ; 1 penny, red on green.

WRAPPERS.

ARGENTINE.—M. Moens has the % centavo with the word “Impressos” in large
characters and more extended than before. The word now measures 15}X13mM.,
+ centavo, brown on buff.

74 THE DOMINION PHILATELIST.

TasmantaA.—TheMonthly Journal has received three wrappers for this colony of which
the 1 penny has the stamp already noted some months back, and the % penny a similar
one, while the 2 penny bears the impression of the embossed ‘Stamp Duty ” stamp:
This has the “beast with a bill” in the centre with name. above and value below, with
“Stamp Duty” above the name. 4 penny, red on white; wove; 279x105mm; I penny,
red on white ; laid; 271x11r0mm; 2 penny, red on white; wove ; 279x105mm. The p-
and 2 p. have four blue lines down each side of the wrappers aud the 1p. a red line
between two blue. In addition to the above we learn from the Stamp News that a lot of
printed to order (?) wrappers have been issued. They measure 292xr115mm. and are in-
scribed “ Newspaper Only” and “From.” 1 penny, red on orange red ; 1 penny, red on
yellow ; 1 penny, red on deep blue; 1 penny, red on rose; 1 penny, red on deep red; 1

penny, red on pale blue ; 1 penny, red on buff; ¢ penny, red on salmen ; 1 penny, red on

green ; I penny, red on violet.
POST Gah» S:

BavariA.—A. Lohmeyer has received the following cards with ‘“‘g2,” all on buff, and
watermarked as follows: 3 pfennig, brown ; 3 pfennig, green; 3x3 pfennig, brown; 5x5
pfennig, green ; ro pfennig, carmine. Vertical zigzag lines, 3 pfennig, brown ; 5x5 pfennig,
green. Horizontal undulating lines, 3 pfennig, brown ; 5 pfennig, green ; ro pfennig,
carmine ; 5x5 pfennig, green. The Postal Cards states that 500 reply cards of the “92”
issue, (3x3 pf.) were printed by mistake on grey card, but that they were immediately
bought up by a post office employee who now has a corner in them. Let him have it.
They were never issued to the public we should say, and are not entitled to be called
anything but proofs or essays.

BritisH Honpuras.—A. Lohmeyer sends us a double 3 cent card of the usual type.
3X3 cents, carmine.

Cryion.—ZLa Carte Postale announces a double 5 cent of the same type as a single
Gang, Sx Gems, Jolluie

Cook Is_Lanps FEpERATION.—In addition to the stamps noted this month the
Monthly Journal states that 543 post cards were issued. ‘They bear a stamp of the
adhesive type and are inscribed “ Federation of the Cook Islands, Post Card, Within the
Federation only. The address only,” etc., in four lines with seven stars between “ Post ”
and “Card.” he cards are said to be double, but with only one stamp, the entire card
being returned in case of a reply. 1 penny, red on bluish.

FRENCH GuIANA.—This is the first colony, we believe, to surcharge the post cards
with its trade mark, and we trust it will be the last. It is applied in the same manner as
that on the adhesives we suppose. 10 centimes, black on violet, d/ack ; 10x10 centimes,
black on violet, 4/ack.

Jamaica.—There is a double card of the same type as that described last month.
1xt penny, blue.

Mexico.—The current cards present several varieties, We have the 2 cent with the
inscriptions in the frame at top, measuring respectively 54 and 62 mm. Also the 5 cent
on white, and on bluish card. The latter having a very much lighter shade of red than
the other, and a darker blue.

New Soutu WAtLEs.—The London Philatefist illustrates a reply card which it states
has apparently recently been issued. It is the same as the 1889 card (Watson 10), but is
printed on buff. 1x1 penny, lilac.

Puerto Rico.—The London Philatelist announces a new card with the royal infant’s
portrait on the stamp. 3 cent de peso, blue.

Reunion.—Money order cards for the interior have been manufactured by simply

printing a formula on the current post cards. The reply card is used as a return receipt.
Io centimes, black on violet ; roxio centimes, black on violet.

In our April number for 1890, we mentioned that a boy in Aylmer, Ont. by
the name of Purdy, was making a business of substituting stamps on sheets sent.
him on approval. We had a lawyer look this young rascal up, and found out
that he was the son of a poor shoemaker, and on this account we let the matter
drop. Some months ago we received an application from John King of Tilson-
burg, Ont; for sheets on approval, and sent him a small selection; after writing
him two or three times the sheets were returned, but all the good stamps had been
taken off and worthless trash put in their place. We immediately wrote King about
the matter and received our letter back through the Dead Letter Office. We
then wrote to the Post Master at Tilsonburg and received the following reply,
which speaks for itself.

TILSONBURG, 9th June, 1892.
Mm H. B. KETCHESON,
Belleville, Ont.

Sir.—In reply to your letter of 7th ultimo, requesting to be informed why
the enclosed letter addressed to Chas. King was returned, i beg to state that
this man is a fraud. He has been obtaining stamps from all over Canada and
the United States, on approval, and either not returning them, or as in your case,
returning worthless ones. His correct name is C. W. Purdy, Action was recent-
ly taken against him by the P. O. Inspector, for posting letters at this office with
cancelled stamps attached. The enclosed letter was handed over to the P. O.
Inspector with considerable other mail. He has removed to Aylmer, Ont., and
you had better communicate with him there.

I informed the Inspector of Purdy’s operation in this line and the Inspector
requested me to hand him all correspondence addressed to Chas. King.

Yours truly, G. H. SavaGeE, P. M.

It would be well for all persons who have been swindled by Purdy to write
the P. O. Inspector at London, Ont. It might help to bring him to justice.

THE reply Cards of Canada are now appearing on a glazed thin card; design
same as before.

A Stamp Exchange has been organized at Tours, France, and well attended
meetings are held weekly.

AT the Scott Stamp and Coin Co.’s sale on May 24, an unused,“ Connell”
in fine condition brought $100.05,

A. S. Butchart, member of C. P. A. who has been residing at Hartney, Man.,
for some time, is again back at Owen Sound.

A Philatelic Exhibition similar to that held in London and Vienna is to be
held in Paris this year, but the date has not yet been fixed.

THE Stamp Exchange in Paris is held on Thursday and Sunday of each
week, and we are informed that the attendance 1s increasing.

A Postal Union Reply Card will be issued by the Canadian government, July
Ist; we have not been able to get information regarding the design.

J. E. SCHULTZE, Exchange Manager for the Montreal Branch of the C. P. A.,
will sail for Europe in a few days, on business for the firm of which he isa member.

I HAVE a few sets of Ist issue British Columbia Law Stamps, four varieties
complete, which I am offering at $2.00 per set. They are cheap at this price.

W, D. BoyD, of Simcoe, Ont., member of C. P. A., left on June 2oth, for New
York City, on a holiday trip; he intends staying there for two weeks and no doubt
will meet many of the collectors and dealers at the Stamp Centre of America.

So THE DOMINION PHILATELIST:

THE following points relating to the stamps of Naples, which we take from
the Parts Postale, may be useful to many of our readers. It may not be gener-
ally known that all these stamps of late issue bear a minute distinct letter, which
is printed in a different part of the stamp in each value. In the %4gr. there is
a little G in the lower part of the white part of the circle to the right, and above
the large circular lines. Inthe 1 gr. the letter N in the lower white part con-
taining the figure value. In the 2 gr. the letter A in the lower part of the white
octagon. In the 5gr. the letter s in the same place as on the gr. In the rogr.,,
in the white part to the right of the sexagon, above the large lines of the border,
the letter z. In the 2ogr. the letter N to the right of the point of the lozenge in
the white part above the thick line of border. In the sogr. the letter C in the
same place as on the %gr. Inthe % tornese the letter G in the same place as
on the %gr.—Stanp News,

POSTAL AND OTHER INFORMATION.

A few notes on Costa Rica.

QUEBEC, 6th June, 892.

The Territory known as the Republic of Costa Rica ({ the rich coast ) was so
named on account of the quantity of gold the Spaniards found there. The position
she occupies in the Central part of the American hemisphere facing both oceans
and in the vicinity of the great interoceanic canal to be opened either through
Panama or Nicaragua, or both, will cause the commerce of the world to pass by
Costa Rica.

An excellent Postal Service is established with 92 post offices within the Re-
public, which handled in 1890-91, 2,101,428 pieces.

The Government liberally subsidizes the steamers of the Pacific Mail, and
others have been granted exemption of port dues, with the exception of hospital
charges ($25.00) when touching regularly at Puerto Limon.

THE DOMINION PHILATELIST. 81

San Jose has a telephonic service and the Government has entered into a
contract with an American Company for its extension throughout the whole
country.

The first nation in Central America to have Telegraphic Service was Costa
Rica and now has the cheapest rates, 20 cents only being charged for a message
for any placeimCentral America. All centres of population of the Republic, large
and small, are connected by wire with each other and with the neighboring
nations and the rest of the world. The President of Costa Rica is Don Jose
Joaquin Rodriguez, who was inaugurated on the 8th of May, 1890, and whose
administration of the affairs of the country is as popular as any that has ever
existed.

The Government is administered by three supreme powers, Executive, Legis-
lative and Judicial. The President is elected for a term of four years, and cannot
be re-elected for a following immediate term. He must be over 38 years of age
and a Costa Rican or at least a Central American by birth and not belong to the
ecclesiastical profession.

No provision is made for a Vice-President. In the event of the death or
or absence of the President, he is succeeded by one of three persons designated
by Congress to that effect at its first session in each Presidential term.

PACIFIC POSTAL TELEGRAPH CABLE COoMPANY.—The above Company is-
sued some two or three years ago, stampsas mentioned herewith, for use by their
customers in the payment for telegrams. They are printed in book form, perfora-
ted, with five stamps on each sheet. They were printed in San Francisco for use
in that country, and were put up in books with stiff cover and of a dark yellow
color, with the following printed on each : “PACIFIC POSTAL TELEGRAPH
CO.” and underneath this “ 10 cent Stamps” or value to correspond with stamps.

The stamp is oblong, 2 inches in length by a little over I inch in wicth. On
the left hand side a space is left in which is printed in red ink the number. The
value appears on the right hand lower side, in a circle, numeral of value in center,
with corresponding value in words above and cents beneath. In the body of the
stamp appears the following:- “This stamp will be accepted at any office of the
Pacific Telegraph Cab'e Company in payment for telegrams. Signed, Chas. R,
Hosmer, General Manager.”

There are five values:- Io cents brown, 15 cents black, 25 cents red, 40 cents
green, and 50 cents blue.

SCARIE COLLECTING jIN ITALY.

By the Author of “ The Fight of Dame Europa’s School.’—Continued.
(FROM PHILATELIC JOURNAL OF GREAT BRITAIN.)
“Hullo!” cried one of our boys coming to the rescue with a happy thought.

“As you can’t get past him, why don’t you get over him? Your legs are long
enough. Chuck one of them across his back, and you will find yourself on the
other side in no time.”

Precisely so. The unhappy youth bestraddled the donkey with his lanky
legs, and stooping forward, threw his left arm round the animal’s neck, to steady
himself as he slipped down on the side nearest the town. But the donkey had

82 THE DOMINION PHILATELIST

other views. He had not forgotten the thumping, and the kicking and the
stones. With that swift and sudden elevation of the hind legs, which none but
a jackass can accomplish with sich consummate grace, he freed his shaggy neck
from the unwelcome embrace of his lean rider, and turned him head over heels
into the tawny ditch. Good luck had the presence of mind to let fall the Album
which lay harmless upon the ground.

With a shout of boisterous laughter which only boys can raise, the whole
troop of spectators now rushed forward to enjoy more closely the entertaining
scene. The ditch, though about 12 feet wide, was only 3 feet deep, but was
lined with a tolerably thick coating of mud, which made progression along its
slimy bed somewhat tortuous and toilsome. Before the boys could fairly reach
him, however, Signor Scaramacci had emerged from his unsavory bath, and was
clambering up the slippery bank in search of his Album, which lay precisely
under the belly of the immovable ass. Smarting under a sense of the cruel
wrongs he had sustained, the youth hurled himself in a fury against the donkey’s
ribs, endeavoring by means of his foot to bring the Album within reach of his
hand, But the ass was too many for him once again. With engaging playful-
ness and sprightly humor, the light-hearted creature flung himself on the ground,
and proceeded to roll in the dust and bray for very joy, using the Album as a
pivot on which to concentrate those scratchings of the back, so dear to the much-
enduring species.

At this point I interfered, as it seemed hard that the poor youth should get
a ducking and lose his Album too. Seizing therefore a moment when the
sportive ass had rolled himself clear of the volume, I hooked it towards me with
my stick, and held it out to the mud-bedabbled arms of Signor Scaramucci.

The trifling service which I had rendered my young friend Scaramucci was
not received with characteristic Italian grace, but under the forlorn circumstances
I readily excused the omission of forms and ceremonies. A man must bea
courtier born and bred who could deliver himself of a polite speech or a graceful
bow, two minutes after total immersion ina bath of muddy water. Making every
allowance, however, for his late misfortunes, I thought the youth’s manner rather
strange. He first turned fiery red, then ashy pale. So far from manifesting any
joy at the recovery of his album, he took it from my hands with apparent reluc-
tance, and at one moment seemed almost disposed to decline receiving it alto-
gether. I attributed this little awkwardness to the fact that Signor Scaramuccj
had not yet forgiven my unconcious offense at our first meeting, and I quite un-
derstood that it must be somewhat disagreeable to his vindicative feelings to ac-
cept any favour from me atall. Congratulating him therefore upon the thickness
of the brown paper with which he had enveloped his precious volume, and which
had successfully resisted the wear and tear of mud, gravel, and donkey’s back, I
recommended him to run home as fast as his legs would carry him, and change
his dripping clothes. This advice he staightway took, and sped along the lane
towards the good city of Aquila,with a rapidity which seemed almost in excess of
that required for the attainment of the object in view.

“Never saw him run like that before,’ said one of the boys. “You would
think the police were after him.”

PETERBOROUGH, ONT., CANADA.

SOMETHING BEY

THE COSMOROLI TAN

* STAMP ALBUM *

a a

This album is placed before the Philatelic public as an entirely new
venture. -It!can Ge used either for Postage or ~aweveaue sfams,
or for both. The pages are ruled in perfect squares 36 to the square
inch ; herein lies its superiority. The idea is original with the publisher.
All advanced collectors have found ordinary albums with printed spaces
of little use ; such albums do not provide for shades, watermarks, perfora-
tions, &c., and experience has shown that albums with blank pages are
more desirable. It has also been found very difficult to arrange stamps
evenly and artistically in the ordinary blank album. The ruling solves
this difficulty and even the inexperienced can arrange stamps evenly
and in many beautiful designs without any trouble.

These albums are being copyrighted in Canada and the U. S.

They are printed on one side only on 6 ply card-board 11x14 inches
and are bound 50 sheets in a book in fine leather binding and sell at $5.00
each. The cards will be supplied at 5 cts. each. Sample card sent for 5 cts.

Do not buy an album till you have examined the Cosmopolitan.

It is bound to replace all others in the estimation of advanced col-
lectors, and collectors of Oddities, Original Covers, Revenues, &c.

CHROMNIZLES OF NEW ISSUES, ETC.

Conducted by William C. Stone, Springfield, Mass., to whom all information
respecting new issues, etc., should be sent.

The figures in parenthesis after the names of the countries refer to the number of this paper containing the last
previous notice. Colors in italics represent the colors of the surcharges, All envelopes unless otherwise stated
are on white wove paper. All post cards unless otherwise stated are on buff cardboard.

ADHESIVES.

Austria.—The Stamp News is informed that the 2 kr. stamp was to be issued June 1,
with the surcharge ‘‘8 Para” to prepay postage on samples.

ARGENTINE.—M. Moensis informed that the 44 and 6 centavos stamps have not been
re-engraved as was reported a short time since.

AzORES.—Two of the new colonials are illustrated by our European exchanges. The
name of the district is substituted for ‘‘Continente” at the foot; in the illustration the
figures of value on the stamp for Angra are very much thinner than those on that for Horta-
50 reis blue, Angra; 50 reis blue, Horta.

BRITISH BECHUANALAND.—In addition to the two Cape of Good Hope stamps which
we noted a few months since it is now said that the 4 penny is also surcharged for use here.
4 pence, blue ; 4/ack.

British NortH BorNnEo.—We do not think that we have noted the issue of a 6 cent
stamp ofthe current type. Perforate 14. 6 cents, red.

Cocuin.—The J//ustrirte Briefmarken Zeitung announces the issue of three stamps for
this Indian state. The stamps are rectangular in shape with the name of the state at the
top and the value at the bottom in English; at the sides are what we suppose must be similar
inscriptions in Malay. In the centre in an oval are four objects ; the upper is possibly a
crown, the centre the coh conch which is found on the Travancore stamps, the left an
umbrella and the right resembles a dumb bell as much as anything. Perforate 12. %
puttan, orange yellow ; 1 puttan, magenta ; 2 puttan, violet.

Cochin has an area of some 1361 miles and is situated within the Presidency of Madras.
Tea, cotton, cardamons, ginger and coffee are among the principal productions. Theclimate
is very hot and wet. The population is about 600,000. The town of Cochin has a large
maritime trade. Its population is about 13,000.

Comoro Istanps.—The stamps for which the Sultan of Anjouan has been longing do
not seem to be forthcoming for the Revue Philateligue is informed that letters from that
place to Mayotte bear the following handstamped inscription: “ Percu 0.25 pour affranchi-
ssement. Le Receveur de la Poste. (Signature)”.

Dutcu Inpirs.—The Stamp News on the authority of an unnamed French paper
chronicles a 714 cent stamp of the numeral type. We are unable to find the stamp given
in any paper that we receive but do find a post card of that type.

Fiyt.—The 1 penny has been surcharged Yd. in black. A permanent stamp of this
new value will probably be issued. Perforate 10. 14 penny ont p. ultramarine : 2/ack.

84 THE DOMINION PHILATELIST

GIBRALTER.—The 50 centimos stamp has been cut in half and used as a 25 cent stamp
according to Senf Bros. Journad.

GReENADA.—Postage due stamps of the Trinidad type have been issued. Watermark
Crown C. C., perforate 14. 1 penny, black ; 2 penny, black ; 3 penny, black.

Jarpan.—E. A. Holton has shown us the 3 sen in a new color. 3 sen. purple red.

New SoutH Wa.rs.—From Henry Gremmel we have received the new % penny
stamp. The design is that of the old 1 penny stamp with the value altered and % in
each of the lower corners. Perforate 12. 1% penny, gray.

Osock,—A few more surcharges are announced by our exchanges. ‘The name is in a
straight line this time as on the recent provisionals and is printed in black. 5 centimes,
green ; 10 centimes, black on violet ; 15 centimes, blue ; 25 centimes, black on rose ; 40
centimes, vermilion ; 1 franc, bronze green. In addition there are a few more provisionals
with large numerals over the old values. 2 0n 10 cent, black on violet, ved; 4 on 25
cent, black on rose, béack; 5 on 25 cent, black on rose, ved; 20 on Io cent, black on
lilac, ved ; 30 on 10 cent, black on lilac, xed; 35 on 25 cent, black on rose, ved; 75 on 1
franc, bronze green, ved, § frances on 1 fr., bronze green, 4/ve. All the above are duly
authorized by decrees bearing date of February 29, March 25, and April 6, 1892.

ParaGcuay.—The Revue Philateligue is informed that the current stamps have been
surcharged 1892 in large figures’ Three values have been seen so far, but all probably
exist. 1 centavo, greem; 3 centavos, carmine; 5 centavos, blue. | The Jumta oy ae
cree dated February 18, has determined to give the lion a rest, and to issue a new set of
stamps bearing the portraits of the various great men who have occupied the Presidential
chair. For this relief much thanks.

PortucaL.—Three more of the new set have been sent us by E. T. Barrows. The
colors vary somewhat from what were previously announced. 5 reis, orange ; Io reis, red
violet ; 50 reis, ultramarine. A decree dated May 7, authorizes the surcharging of the
remainder of the old set as 2% reis stamps, ‘‘to put them to a profit.”

StrMoor.—The PAilatelic Record announces the 1 anna with black surcharge, ‘‘ On
Sb SS. eave, lols 8 Hinge,

SENEGAL.—This Colony has been catching its breath we suppose in order to make a
spurt and get ahead of the other colonies in surcharging, etc. The latest is the 15 cent
surcharged “‘Senegal 75.” It looks a little fishy and we shall await the receipt of the de-
cree before listing it.

SIERRA LEoNE.—The 3 pence is now said to be issued on Crown C. A. paper. Per-
forate 14. 3 pence, yellow.

SoutH AustraLia.—A German paper reports the 214 on 4 penny, with the “O. Se
surcharge in thick letters. O.S. 2% penny, red brown on green ; dlack.

STRAITS SETTLEMENTS.—The latest surcharge is evidently intended to be permanent.
The 8 cent stamp has been printed in a new color and surcharged ‘“ One Cent,” and a
straight line over the old value. 1 cent on 8c. green; d/ack.

Unitep Srates.—Local Stamps. The American Journal of Philately says that the
stamps of the New York City Express Post, which have been considered as frauds or
dubious, are all right. C-H. Mekeel has a carmine one on the original letter, and the
Scott Co., have seen an undoubtedly genuine specimen of the green. 2 cents, black on
green ; 2 cents, black on carmine.

WESTERN AUSTRALIA.—Two new stamps are said to be in preparation of the same
design as the current 4p. and 1s. 21% penny, blue; 5 penny, bistre.

ZULULAND.—The Monthly Journal has seen a 1 pound Natal revenue stamp with the
“Zululand” surcharge that has been postally used. 1 pound, black and green.

frame. ‘‘ Correspondenz Karte” is in a curve in black and there are four dotted lines for
the address preceeded by “ An.” The reverse bears a small picture of the exhibition grounds

in December, 1889, the cards are to be altered to conform to the new order of things.

THE C, P. A. Convention for 1892 will open at Niagara Falls, on Wednesday,
Aug. 17th, at loa. m. A good attendance is expected. We trust every member
will either be present in person or be represented by proxy. In spite of all rumors
to the contrary, the C. P. A. has had a prosperous year, and with the exception
of one thing, all its affairs are in a satisfactory shape. A number of questions of
importance will come before the meeting, and among others, what action is to be
taken to finally close up the exchange department under F, J. Grenny’s manage-
ment, also the advisability of having the C. P. A. incorporated by act of Parliament,

Every member who can possibly be present should come and help to make the
Convention a grand success.

Green goods men of New York City have for some time past been flooding
Canada with their circulars; thousands of them are stopped every week and sent
to the Dead Letter Office at Ottawa and from their are returned to the Postal
Authorities of the U.S. It seems a little strange that the New York Authorities
are not able to break up this gang of swindlers

THE annual convention of the A. P. A. will open at Niagara Falls, on Aug.

be present, and to have the pleasure of renewing old acquaintances and forming
new ones.

HAVE you ordered a copy of the third edition of Ketcheson’s Catalogue of
Canadian stamps, if not, you had better do so at once as the edition is limited,
and they are selling fast. The price is, bound in cloth 50c., paper 25c., to be ob-
tained from H. F. Ketcheson Belleville, Ont.

WE would call attention of C. P. A. members to the statement of the Sec.-
Treas. in his report in this issue that all C. P. A. members who desire to vote at
the coming election of officers should pay their dues at once as the votes of those
in arrears will not be counted. Send in the amount at once to the Sec.-Treas.

WE would suggest to the members of C. P. A. the names of the following per-
sons for office bearers for the coming year ;—President, Ernest F. Wurtele,
Quebec; Vice-President, A. A. Bartlett, Charlottetown, P. yl; Sec-Treas, 1S,

as they are all well known and active collectors

THE Bogart and Durban Co. have inaugurated a new scheme for Priced Cata-
logues of their sales which Iam sure will be appreciated by collectors everywhere.
For the low price of 25c. you may. obtain a Priced Catalogue of any of their future
sales. The price being printed in before each lot in red ink. They are a great
improvement over the old system of tracing in pen and ink.’

FRoM another page of this issue it will be seen that Chas. W. Purdy, alias
Chas. A.King was relieved by the Police Magistrate of $19.50 for using cancelled
postage stamps in mailing letters. It is to. be hoped that he will be severely
punished for the swindling game which he has been carrying on, that is: of ob-
taining stamps from dealers refusing to either pay for them, or return them.

Ava meeting of the National Philatelical Society, held July sth, the following
nominations were made for A. P. A. Officers: President, John K. Tiffany; Vice-
President, Willard C. Van Derlip; Secretary, Millard F.’ Walton; Treasurer,
N. W. Chandler; Inter.-Sec’y, Joseph Rechart; Trustees, Geo. H. Watson,
Henry Clotz, G. B. Calman; Supt. of Sales, E. Doeblin. Resolutions favoring the
continuing of the American Philatelist and prohibiting a dealer from holding the
office of Sales Superintendent, were unanimously adopted. Messrs. R. F, Albrecht
and R. R. Bogert were appointed Delegates of the Convention, and Members
favoring the above Heo. and resolutitions are requested to send proxies to either
of the Delegates.

WE received the following invitation from the genial President of the A. P. A.
but owing to the pressure of business, and distance, we were unable to avail our-
selves of the opportunity to spend a pleasant evening .

WE have received the following from Mr. C. W, Taylor of Winnipeg, regard-
ing Manitoba Law Stamps as catalogued in Ketcheson’s Canadian Catalogue.
We are always glad to receive corrections and suggestions as it is only by all our
readers sending us the information that they possess, that we can get out a cat-
alogue at all perfect. “In looking over the catalogue I noted some omissions in
Manitoba Law Stamps, which you may not be aware of. In the Provisional
Issue you have left out entirely the issue on white paper. There are two
wanieties Gy Hand Sin. 10,20, 25, 50 and 1.00, smaller than the yellow,.one,
and much finer done, issuedin September 1881. Also there is in the present issue
J. F. in blue, surcharged in. two sizes, viz: the usual size, and one much smaller
issued, I think in 1891.”

BaBy ALFONSO, king of Spain, enjoys a distinction unique to infantile monarchs
says the Chicago News. His picture is sold by the millions, and his subjects—
Spanish and Cuban, rich and poor, whether royalists, anarchists, republicans,
revolutionists or banditti—press the vignette to their lips. The 6-year-old ruler’s
face is engraved on Spanish and Cuban postage stamps. To the practical
American eye the baby stamp is an oddity, but a passing Spanish gentleman
is authority for the statement that when the stamp bearing the portrait
om itorsay clll Waestssucd the people hailed it with delight “and re-
newed their interest in the royal boy. The king will be six years old May 17,
and if the testimony of the royal nurses is to be taken, he is an irrepressible little
lad possessed of a peppery Spanish temper.

Chas. W. Purdy, alias Chas, A. King, was arranged before Police Magistrate
Hare at Tilsonburg, Saturday, in answer to a charge of using cancelled postage
stamps upon letters mailed at Tilsonburg, He pleaded guilty and was fined $10
and costs, $9.50. He has caused the post office authorities considerable trouble,
as he has been operating for some weeks past. He has been obtaining stamps
from several dealers under the name of Chas. A. King, and is undoubtably the
same as made mention of by you in the June number of the Dominion Philatelist:
Thanking you for your valuable space,

I remain, yours, very truly, HENRY ADES FOWLFR.

CHARLOTTETOWN, /une 22, 1892.

DEAR Stk,—Allow me to thank you for your copy of Third Edition of
Catalogue, which came to hand yesterday, and which I find all that could be
desired, and a most creditable little book. You will pardon me for pointing out
some errors. In the first place you fall into a very common mistake of suppos-
ing that the Connell was used a year after the green 5 cent N.B. Thisis clearly
wrong. I set the London Society right on this a little while ago, as you will
find by referring to the correspondence in the London Philatelist for April or
May, I don’t just remember which. The Connell was used along with the Ic.,
loc, and 12%4c., in the latter part of April, 1860, (the 17¢: and 2c. came later),
and Mr. Connell had resigned and the stamp been re-called by May Ist, 1860,
and it was some months after this that the 5 cent with the Queen’s head was
issued. There is no room for doubt or argument on this matter for the Royal
Gazette of N. B., to which I had access when getting my information on the
subject, settles the matter. The old theory of the Connell being in use for one
day is an old woman’s tale ; if in use at all it is as liable to be in use for a week
as a day.

In P. E. Island you give 1864, as the date of the 1 penny; this is wrong, the
stamp was in use in 1862. I have a specimen postmarked May 6, 1862 ; and
on your provisional you don’t give the 4 pence cut, the most likely cut of all,
for it gives the Island rate of 2 pence. I have four handsome specimens show-
ing the four different diagonal cuttings, and besides the three you mention I
have 2 pence and half 2 pence, 6 cent, cut vertically, and 2 cent and half 2 cent,
all elegant specimens. Then in Newfoundland you don’t give any cut stamp.
I have very fine specimen of 4 pence vermilion cut, and 8 pence vermilion cut,
and in Canada I have one of the three cut 6 pence which Dr. Cameron found.

Yours sincerely, A. A. BARTLETT:

POSTAL INFORMATION.
QUEBEC, 11th July 1892.
The report of the Postal Union Bureau states that the United States, Great
Britain and Germany send the greatest number of letters through the mails. The
Annual Receipts being, German Empire, 317,426,566 francs, United States, 315,
¥51,284 francs, and Great Britain, 246,276,950 francs.

i al

THE DOMINION PHILATELIST. $7

The United States sells more Postage Stamps or makes more on them than
any other nation. The Bureau reports, United States, Annual receipts from
Postage Stamps 298,713,598 francs, German Empire 223,320,611 francs, and Great
Britain 235,993,950 francs.

In the Quarterly Supplement of the Canadian Official Postal Guide issued in
April, the attention of the Postmasters is drawn to the fact that requests for the
direct return of undelivered matter, can only be complied with in the case of letters,
and must therefore be disregarded when appearing on other classes of matter.

The above instructions may meet with the wishes of the Department and is no
doubt very handy for them, but as much cannot be said for the general public,
who when occasion demands, indicate on this class of mail matter that the same
be returned if undelivered, surely theit requests are entitled to consideration.

Why the department discriminate in favour of letters only is not generally
known, but if on the ground of expense in handling the matter a second time,
this could no doubt be done away with by imposing a reasonable charge for the
return of such matter. [he public would then expect the charge and be prepared
to meet it, rather than lose what may be to them valuable papers.

On the present basis the question arises, what becomes of this Class of mail.
matter ?

It would be interesting to have some one conversant with the details and
reasons governlng their action, make an explanation ?

Don’t forget Clark’s Auction Sale to be held at Belleville; August 28, the
catalogue will be found in our advertising pages ; look it over carefully and send
in your bids at once.

A NUMBER of persons who owe the Exchange Department of the C. P. A.,
under the management of F. J. Grenny, will have the pleasure of seeing their
names in print, if they do not settle their accounts at once.

OwrR August number will be mailed on the 1oth of the month. Advertisers
and correspondents will please make a note of this and have all matter reach us
not later than August 5. We desire to have the August number in the post
office before we leave for Niagara Falls.

A CORRESPONDENT has kindly sent us a copy of the Madras Weekly Mail,
which contains a long article on the stamps of the Scinde District Dawk, written
by Mr. Green Howard, and reproduced from the Czvil and Military Gazette,
Unfortunately we have not sufficient space at our disposal this month to repro-
duce the article under notice, but we intend doing so next month, by which time
we also hope to have received further information from India. There is one
point in the article which is worthy of mention here. especially as the subject is
referred to in our Monthly Review, and that is with reference to the white stamp
with single outer edge, and the same on laid paper, both of which are mentioned
as genuine varieties. As to the last-named, we at present hold no positive opin-
ion ; but with regard to the one with single circle, we have always looked upon it
as a forgery, and shall continue to do so until satisfactory information to the
contrary is forthcoming.—Stamp News,

STAMP COLLECTING IN ITALY:

Ly the Author of “ The Fight at Dame Europa’s School.”

FROM PHILATELIC JOURNAL OF GREAT BRITAIN.

“Has he got far to go?” I enquired, “Oh no; he lives at the foot of the hill,
close to the station. You can see the house from here ; it is painted red, Atthe
rate he is going now, he will be at home in five minutes.

“ And glad enough he will be to get into dry clothes again, poor beggar!
All the same, I could not help laughing at the trick the donkey played him.”

“ Served him right, for being such a funk,” exclaimed one of my companions.
“He will know better another time than to be afraid of a tethered donkey.”

“Let us hope so,” I rejoined; “but it strikes me that we have had about
enough of him. He is not such a very interesting subject of conversation.
Suppose we talk about something else. What pretty things are you boys going
to show me on the way home?

“There is an awfully jolly fountain,” said one of the big boys ; but it is sure
to be crowded with washerwomen. Then there is an old church close by, but it
is always shut in the afternoon. There is nothing else that I can think of, unless
you would like to stop at the station on the way home,and see the 6:20 train go off.”’

“All right,” said I; “one form of excitement will do as) well as another 9
suppose the 6:20 train crawls out of the station very much after the same fashion
dis tiemhes ten

“It does hot crawl at all,” cried a small boy indignantly; “ai gues
mendiously fast. My uncle’s big dog, Zulu, ran after it the other day, and could
only keep up with it for about a couple of miles.”

“The pace must be terrific,” said 1; “by all means let us so" Amd) so,we
went, reaching the station just as the signal for departure was being given—which
in Italy does not in the least degree imply that any departure is immediately
going to take place.

During the interval, a long-legged youth rushed up to the ticket office, hastily
transacted his business, swept up his change, and made a convulsive bolt across
the platform for a third class carriage.”

“Why, that is Scaramucci again !” exclaimed one of the boys.

“ Bother the fellow,” said I. “ Have we not done with him yet? For good-
ness sake let him go, and a pleasant journey to him.”

“Yes, but I want to know where he is going. I really must cut across and
ask him.”

‘To late,” said I; “the train is moving off. You will only be dragged ignom~
iniously back by some railway porter.”

Meanwhile, Signor Scaramucci had secured his seat, and was soon travelling
leisurely along at the rate of about five miles an hour, which pace, as far as I
could see, was in no way accelerated, until the train began to roll down hill, and
could not help itself.

For several minutes my young friends watched with interest the exciting
scene, and then accompanied me into the town, each one turning off at the near_

est point to his own home.

rah (ae we STS OF STAMP COLLECKING.

Vol. IV. PETERBOROUGH, AUGUST 1892. No. 44

CHROMIGEES OF NEW ISSUES, ETC.

Conducted by William C. Stone, Springfield, Mass., to whom all information
respecting new issues, etc., should be sent.

The figures in parenthesis after the names of the countries refer to the number of this paper containing the las;
previous notice. Colors in italics represent the colors of the surcharges, All envelopes unless otherwise stated
are on white wove paper. All post cards unless otherwise stated are on buff cardboard.

ADHESIVES.

AustriA.—Lots of prophecies this month! Ze Zzmdbre Poste is informed that postage
due stamps are to be expected before long. ZL’ Union Postale Universelle is informed that
the new unit of value will be the kroner which will be divided into heller or centimes.
The Revue Phitatelique has heard of a sheet of the 3 kreuzer minus the figures of value in
the angles.

Austia, Zevant.—Up to June 20, the 8 para stamp has not been put on sale at Con-
stantinople although it was to be issued the first of that month. It is reported that the 2
gulden is to be surcharged 20 piasters.

AzorEs.—Hereafter we shall give these stamps under the names of the respective dis-
tricts as that will be the least liable to confuse collectors, the name Azores no longer
appearing on the stamps. Last month we noted issues for Angra and Herta, and now we
have one for the remaining district which will be found under Ponta Delgada.

ANGRA.—This district of the Azores has another of the new stamps in use in addition
to the one listed last month. 25 reis, green.

Brazit, U.S. or.—A few color varieties of the 100 reis are mentioned by M. Moens ;
100 reis, rose and greenish blue; 100 reis, red and greenish blue; 100 reis, carmine and
greenish blue. ‘This last variety also exists with the centre reversed.

Boxtvra.—To manufacture revenue stamps the current postage stamps have been sur-
charged “TIMBRE ” in blue, and the American Journal of Philately has received a letter
prepaid with 1 centavo, stamp so surcharged ; 1 centavo lake, etc., d/we. Revenue used
postally,

Care or Goop Hopr.—The new 2% penny stamp is printed in pea green we are in-
formed by D. Montague Jacobs. The design is the same as the rest of the set, with the
addition of the numerals of value on a white tablet in the right upper corner. Watermark
anchor, perforate 14. 214 penny, pea green.

Cotompia.—August Lehmann sends us a variety of the 1879 cubierta, which has not
been noted before, we think. The letter “a” in the word “Certificacion ” is shaped thus
“4” instead of “a” as in the common variety. The specimen is dated February 7, 1882.

Ecypt.—The Philatelic Journal of America is informed that the 2 pilaster stamp is to
be withdrawn and will probably be surcharged 1 piaster, also that the remaining stock of
10 piasters has been burned by the post office authorities.

FALKLAND IsLanps.—The London Philatelist has the six penny stamp in a new color.

6 pence, orange yellow.

04 THE DOMINION PHILATELIST.

Funcuat.—While in J. W. Scott’s store last month we saw the 25 reis for this district
of Madeira, and have since learned of the issue of the 50 reis. 25 reis, green; 50 reis, blue.

Great Brirain.—J. H. Anheiser has discovered a ro penny brown of the July 1867
type, with heraldic flowers in the watermark instead of the spray of rose as normally. As
the sheet of this value consisted of 240 stamps, it seems probable that there may be at
least 239 more of these stamps somewhere.

GuatEeMALa.—The American Journal of Philately has discovered an error of the 25
cent 1886 stamp which has not been noted before. The surcharged value is expressed
255 centavos in the last line of the over print.

Hone Konc.—We have omitted to note that the 50 on 48 cent exists both with and
without the Chinese surcharge. 50 on 48 cent, violet, black. Chinese surcharge. The
1 dollar stamp has two varieties of the Chinese surcharge, one being simply on the value
while the other is down the whole side of the stamp. :

Juinp.—A few more surcharges for the benefit of the inhabitants of this state. 1 anna
6 pies, bistre ; 3 annas, orange ; 6 annas, bistre ; 12 annas, red brown on red. Service,
3 annas, orange ; 4 annas, olive ; 6 annas, bistre 12 annas, red brown on red; 1 rupee,
grey.

Horra.—Another value is in use in this district : 25 reis, green.

Morocco.—The American Journal of Philately reports the current 15 centimes with
the ‘(15 centimes” overprint. We suppose the quadrilled stamp is the one referred to.
15 centimes on 15 centimes, blue.

NETHERLANDS.—The 1 gulden of the new issue was issued a short time since. 1
gulden, slate blue.

PaNaMA.—We have received the stamps of which we wrote a month or so ago. They
are almost identical in design with those they replace, but are very finely engraved and
have some slight changes in the minor parts of the design, especially around the numerals
of value. Weare indebted to R. R. Bogert for the sight of the first specimens. Perforate
12. 1 centavo, green; 2 centavo, carmine ; 5 centavo, blue ; 10 centavo, orange. An-
other point of difference is that the new stamps are printed on white paper.

PatiALa.—The stamps are beginning to appear with the above surcharge which is the
spelling authorized by Hunter’s Imperial Gazetteer, the official authority. The following
are reported by M. Moens as having been issued in March. 9g pies, carmine; I anna 6
pies, bistre ; 3 annas, Orange; 6 annas, bistre; 12 annas, red brown on red. Service, 4
annas, olive; & annas, violet ; 1 rupee, grey.

P HILIPPINES.—Four new values are announced of the baby type. 6 mills, rose; 15
cents, red brown ; 40 cents, slate ; 80 cents, orange.

Ponta DELGADA.—Two stamps have been issued tor this district of the Azores. We
are indebted to E. T. Barrows for the 25 reis. 25 reis, green; 50 reis, blue.

(QUEENSLAND.—A 3 penny stamp of the current type watermark and perforation, was
issued April 5, we are informed. 3 pence, pale brown.

STRAITS SETTLEMENTS.—We learn from the Pz/atefic Record that the rc. on 24c. does
not exist. However to make up for it we have received the 4 cent with the same surcharge.
Tcent on) 4 cent. pisime:

SwWEDEN.—We have received the new 1 and 4 ore stamps and are informed that there
are two other values. White numeral of value in the centre on engine turned oval ;
“Sverige” above, ‘‘Frimarke” below in oval band around; “Ore” at sides. Stars in
corners. Watermark large crown, perforate 13. 1 ore blue, background and oval, brown ;
2 ore, yellow, background and oval, blue ; 3 ore, yellow, background and oval, brown; 4
ore, blue, background and oval, red.

ZULULAND.—The Philatelic Record adds the following English stamps to the list sur-

THE DOMINION PHILATELIST. 95

charged “Zululand” in black letters. 5 pence, purple and blue; 9 pence, purple and
blue ; 1 shilling, green ; 5 shilling, rose.

ENVELOPES.

BrermupA.—The registration envelope exists on size 42 according to the official notice
which is dated May 24, 1892. 2 pence, blue ; 227xroomm.

Care oF Goop Hopr.—D. Montague Jacobs has our thanks for specimens of the
new envelopes which were issued about June 1. Head of Victoria to left in oval with
“Postage One Penny” above and name below in oval band around. ‘The head is em-
bossed. White laid paper. 1 penny, carmine; 120x95mm. 1 penny, carmine; 147x9omm.

WRAPPERS.

AustriA.—One of our Corman contemporaries reports that the wrappers are now on
white paper instead of buff, bleached.
POST CARDS.

Austria.—The special post cards sold at the musical exhibition which we noted last
month exist in six varieties, each having a different picture on the reverse.

Brazit, U. S. or.—The London Philatelist catalogues two cards which seem to be
the current issue with no change except that the card is now buff instead of white as before.
40 reis, yellow and blue ; 80 reis, red and blue.

Buicarta.—The 10 stotinki has been issue in reply form, rox1o stotinki, red on white.

Conco FREE State.—The two cards noted recently by us are semi-provisionals print-
ed at Brussels, the contractor at Mechlin being unable to supply the quantity needed.
Less than 3000 were printed it is said. M. Moens is informed that new cards with the
portrait of King Leopold are soon to be issued.

DurcuH Inpies.—The Philatelic Record reports the issue of the following reply cards
with stamp of the numeral type. The cards are white faced with color. 5x5 cents, blue
on pale blue ; 714x7 Uhc,, carmine on rose.

Topsaco.—Whitfield, King & Co. write the London Philatelist as follows: ‘We are
sending you specimens of two provisional Tobago cards, 1% on 1% and 1 on 11% penny.
There were printed 3000 of the surcharged stamps and 500 of each of the cards. Our
correspondent writes that none of the stamps or cards were used for postage or sent out
of the island, the whole were bought up, and we believe, entirely by officials or their
relatives, who are asking 3 sh. each for the stamps and 6sh. a pair for the cards. Now we
should like to know what these provisionals were made for; certainly not for legitimate
use. They do not even appear to have been put on sale publicly at the post office.” We
refrain from commenting on the above transaction as it speaks for itself. The cards should
be ignored.

NataLt.—The Monthly Journal has received a reply 1 penny card of the same type as
the 1% penny which is now obselete. 1x1 penny, carmine.

NETHERLANDS.—The official card noted last month is found on more than one color.
black on salmon ; black on dark blue.

New SoutH WatEs.—We have seen mention in several papers of the issue of a 1
penny on white which we suppose is of the botanicle type. It is said that 60,000 were
printed on this color in February. 1 penny, mauve on white.

* * *
SEVERAL stamp journals have mentioned the issue by Great Britain of a 41d.
stamp. We have been informed on good authority that no such stamp has yet

been issued, but that the P. O, Department are considering the advisability of so
doing.

96 THE DOMINION PHILATELIST.
THE MAN WHO HAD AN OBJECT IN LIFE.

He was born of poor but otherwise unobjectionable parents, who impressed
upon his mind, while it was yet in a plastic and doughy state, the importance
of having an object in life,

He was a studious boy. He began wearing spectacles at an early age, and
never wasted any of the precious hours in playing bull pen, mumble-peg, shinny,
cr any of the rude games that thoughtless boys delight in, and his teacher at
school was accustomed to point him out to the other children as a model.

In consequence of which the other children all hated him and said he was a
mollycoddle and a sweet little gosling with a glass eye.

But he wasa truly good boy. He did not chew gum and refused to associate
with boys who chewed tobacco on the sly or played hookey.

As he grew to manhood he cast about him for an object in life.

He found one.

Henceforth he devoted his energies to that one object. He kept it steadily
before him. .

It was not riches he sought. The pursuit of wealth for its own sake was de-
grading in his eyes, and whatever of worldly prosperity came to him was made
subservient to his one great object in life.

He pursued not the elusive phantom of fame. The filthy cesspool of politics
had no charms for him, and the empty honors that await the man who enters the
army or navy did not tempt him.

Neither did he waste his powers in the futile search of perpetual motion.

The ephemeral joys of the actor, the professional ball-player, or billiard ex-
pert, availed naught as enticements to lead him from the path he had marked out
for himself,

Step by step the years rolled away he drew nearer and nearer to the goal of
his ambition and his heart swelled with proud satisfaction.

And he died at the age of 63, leaving to posterity, as the result of a life de-
voted to the pursuit of one great object, a collection of 337,469 canceled postage
stamps.—Chicago Tribune.

CANADA 1.x te: CARD) ShAME: Alger ra:

Do any of our readers know the Canadian 1IxIc card with the stamps on the
left, instead of on the right? There seems to be some dispute as to whether this
is a genuine error of impression, or a variety due to the sheets of cards being
wrongly cut, by accident or design. Of course, if these cards are obtainable in
sheets, the latter case of variety can be easily made—such has been done in other
cases—but then the stamp would be some distance away from the end of the
scroll. It is asserted, however, that copies exist with the stamp at the same
distance from the left end of the scroll as it usually is from the right, and that
the Canadian authorities acknowledge that such an error was issued. Can any
one show us a copy of it ?—(Stanley Gibbons’ Monthly Fournal.)

Yes, we can. By referring to our paper No. 55, issued on the 14th of Mav,
1890, you will find there a copy of a letter received by us, from the Secretary
of the Post Office Department at Ottawa regarding this very card as follows:

THE DOMINION PHILATELIST. 97

[ am directed to acknokledge your letter stating that you have in your poss-
ession a Canadian reply post card, upon which the stamp appears in the upper
left-hand corner, and inquiring whether this stamp was officially issued by this
department, or whether the positions of the stamps was due to a mistake in cut-
ting the sheets.

“Tn reply, I am to say that the position of the stamp on the card to which
you refer (a certain number of a specimens of which were inadvertently issued
by this Department ) was due to a mistake in printing,”

We have never seen one of these cards which could have been produced by
wrong cutting.

If any Error cards fave been made by sucha manipulation, either by accident
or design, we do not know it. However, the difference between a wrongly cut
card and a genuine error is so apparent that it can be detected even without the
use of a millimetre scale.

The distance of the stamp from the end of the scroll on the error card is 4mm.,
while if produced by wrong cutting of a sheet of the correct issue (stamp at right),
the distance will be 14mm.

To prove this we take two of the latter cards (in the absence of an uncut sheet
which we have never seen), place them end against end, measure the distance
from the left end of the scroll on one card by the outer circle enclosing the figure
“7” on the other card, and the result will be as stated above.

This fact and the letter from the Canadian P. O. Department, quoted above,
removes all doubts as to the true character of this rarity, known as the “Canada
Error Card.’

We have several used specimens in our collection.— 7xe Postal Card.

* * *

IN my opinion the greatest surprise (to us American collectors), of Scott’s
5 3rd, will be the jump in value, of the stamps of Nova Scotia and New Bruns-
wick. These stamps should be collected by every American collector, and
especially by him who makes a specialty of U.S. Note the rapid rise of the
shilling stamps of those countries, and yet the authorized packet rate to England
7% pence, made, in lieu of a stamp of that denomination, of split 3 pence, equal-
ly as rare a value can be bought to-day on the original cover for about $10.
Over in England they understand this and buy them greedily —W. /. Calder, in
Malden Philatelist for June.

THAT “evil deeds come home to roost” is an old proverb, but that, at the same
time it is well up to date, the daily law reports and the frequent revelations of one
kind and another which we hear of on all sides, prove beyond a doubt. Never do
we rejOice at the realisation of the proverb more than when it applies to the un-
scrupulous individuals who write for approval sheets and then refuse either to re-
turn or pay for the stamps. The very meaness of such a thief renders it more
despicable. At the same time we cannot commend the practices of certain dealers
who send out unsolicited sheets of valuable stamps to persons, who possibly have
neither the means nor the inclination to buy them. Dealers, whose custom it is
to do this, are placing temptation where it is often most to be feared ; sowing the

seeds of the very crime they themselves are the first to denounce.—P2latelic
Monthly News.

FROM one of our exchanges we learn that at the first auction sale of stamps
held in Paris, over 350 collectors were present.

THE S. of P. have decided to hold their 1893 Convention at or near Chicago,
on the three days following the A. P. A. Convention.

Mr. F. R. GINN has been elected Secretary of the Philatelic Protection
Association of England, filling the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr.
Phillips.

JOHN K. TIFFANY is undoubtly the most popular Philatelist in the United
States. He has been president of the American Philatelic Association since its
organization and is still the unanimous choice of the members.

THERE was no gum on the first issue of Reunion stamps, a wafer being used
instead. Such was Mr. Paltzer’s experience. This musician used hundreds of
these rarities! There value is just about £60 each now.—Philatelic Monthly News.

THE officers and members of the Canadian Philatelic Association extend a
cordial invitation to all collectors to attend their convention at Niagara Falls on
August 17th and 18th. All visitors will be made welcome. Come and see us.

THE Sons of Philately are evidently not in favor of amalgamation ; one of
their members writing to The Collector thus expresses himself :—‘ To our notion
the consolidation scheme is simply a plan to bolster up the decaying body of
a once great society.”

Mr. PHILBRICK who has been Vice-president of the London (Eng.) Philatelic
Society for the last ten years, has severed his official connection with the Society
and for the present at least will remain a privatemember. This was necessitated
by his increasing legal and other business.

ACCORDING to the Revue Philatelique a young man was arrested on the Paris
Stamp Exchange a short time ago for refusing to repay the money for a forged
stamp which he had sold. After his arrest he offered to repay the money, and
the stamp was confiscated. This shows that the Parisian authorities are also
waking up and recognising the importance of Philately — Stamp News.

THE Paris Stamp Exhibition which we mentioned in our last, has now as-
sumed definate shape, and will be opened sometime before Sept. 15, and will
remain open about 20 days ‘The prizes given will consist of 67 medals, besides
certificates of merit. Two gold medals will be given, the first as the grand prize
to the best general exhibit and the other to the one who is most successful in the

various classes. All information may be obtained from M. Lesourd, 36 Rue du
Cherchemidi, Paris, France.

FRANK. W. GRIFFITH, Acting Colonial Postmaster of St. Vincent, makes the
following statement in a letter published in the Loudon Philatelist: “In many of
the stamp catalogues published from time to time is included amongst “St Vin-
cent” stamps one described “1892. % penny on Id. drab.” The last catalogue
is that of “ Richard Montague & Co., London,E.C.,” of March, 1891. I cancon-
fidently state that no such stamp has ever emanated from either the Government
or Post-Office of Saint Vincent, W. I.”

ABUUT 20 members of the S. of P. attended their first annnual convention
at Gettysburg on July the 4th and 5th. Everything passed off satisfactorily.
The officers elected are as follows: President, J. D. Bartlett ; Vice-President,
eye beueh » Secretary, Rk. M. Miller; Treasurer, P. L. Messer; Exchange
Superintendent, W. H. Emmert; Auction Manager, J. C. Miller; Counterfeit
Mietcoon 2 fb. Newcomer; Purchasing Agent, C. H. Mead ;* Trustees, R. P.
Spooner, Ramsey Puegent, C. W. Grevning.

Our readers will remember that the four so-called provisional stamps of Gabon,
printed in black and with various pictures, turned out to be bogus, emanating
from a manufacturer of forgeries in Marseilles. We now gather from a French
contemporary that this same person has been forging pretty considerably, and
amongst other things, provisionals of the French colonies, English stamps with
surcharges, Cyprus, Sungei Ujung, with S. U. and star and crescent, and several
other varieties. It is to be hoped that the same fate will shortly befall him that
overtook Benjamin and others— Stamp News.

THE 3-cent red, 1851, U. S., is found in three very distinct shades, yellow-
brown, the ordinary dull red and a dark brown, having the appearance of black
mixed with the ordinary ink. The color variations in this issue is so great that
the only reason no particular attention has been given it seems to lie in the fact
that catalogue makers consider collectors of United Stamps too far behind the
times to appreciate or notice such things. Perhaps they are, or have been; but
day is breaking, and increased light brings increased knowledge.— Southern

Le Timbre mentions a fact, which, if true, should be looked into by the postal
authorities, According to our contemporary, a stranger on arriving at Monte-
video is at once warned not to put prepaid letters in the letter boxes, as the stamps
are usually taken off-——Stamp News.

THE following are the newly elected officers of the London England Philatelic
society. Earl of Kingston, President; M. P. Castle, Esq., Vice-president ;
Manelas (rath, Msq., Secretary; J. E. Dilleard, Esq., Assistant Secretary ; and
Messrs. Bacon, Biggs, Chambers, Grath, Maycock, Tilleard, and Major Evans on
the Committee. The Society have also secured permanent quarters at Effing-
ham House, Arunden St.

FroM the Sax Marino Philatelist we \earn that this little Republic has begun
to issue surcharges. The following is what the above mentioned paper has to
say about them: “13th of June the whole stock of the old value of 5c. orange
was sold out and the Congress ordered to make some thousand provisorial stamps,
impressing C™ over the old stamp of 30c. brown 1877. This issue came out on
the 14th of June and being sold out in a short time, the government was in want
of making a new provsiorial stamp impressing ,,C™5” over the stamp of 10c.blue
1877 resp. 1889 (prussian blue) andas they were not morethan 30c. stamps to be
overprinted, These blue ones came out on the 25th of June and are also not to
had at the post-office. The printing-office of San Marino is a very small one
and so was not possible to print at once more as 50 copies and also this ones
must contain different figures (sorts ) as there are only small quantities of equal
letters ; consequently are distinguished several types and a few onces I did find

reversed.

Messrs. Puttips, Lea, & Davies held their first Auction this year, when some good
prices were realized. Many of the lots, however, were wrongly described, and these mis-
takes, in some cases, accounted for the high prices. The following were the chief lots:—

Mr. Cheveley held his last sale of the season on June 22nd and 23rd. On the first
evening the attendance was good, and the prices ruled brisk. The second evening’s sale

was not quite so good, but still, considering the lateness of the season, quite as good as
we expected. ‘The following were the principal lots :—

THE COSMOPOLITAN

: STAMP ALBUM :

bb a 2

This album is placed before the Philatelic public as an entirely new
venture. It can be used either: for Postage of “Revenue —otanaem
or for both. The pages are ruled in perfect squares 36 to the square
inch ; herein lies its superiority. The idea is original with the publisher.
All advanced collectors have found ordinary albums with printed spaces
of little use ; such albums do not provide for shades, watermarks, perfora-
tions, &c., and experience has shown that albums with blank pages are
more desirable. It has also been found very difficult to arrange stamps
evenly and artistically in the ordinary blank album. The ruling solves
this difficulty and even the inexperienced can arrange stamps evenly

and in many beautiful designs without any trouble.
These albums are being copyrighted in Canada and the U. S.

They are printed on one side only on 6 ply card-board 11x1rq inches
and are bound 50 sheets in a book in fine leather binding and sell at $5.00
each. The cards will be supplied at 5 cts. each. Sample card sent for 5 cts.

Do not buy an album till you have examined the Cosmopolitan.

It is bound to replace all others in the estimation of advanced col-
lectors, and collectors of Oddities, Original Covers, Revenues, &c.

Annual Conrention ot C.P.A.

The Fifth Annual Convention of the Canadian Philatelic Association opened at Niagara
Falls, at the International Hotel, on August 17, at 3:30 p.m. The following members
were present: R. F. Albrecht, S. B. Bradt, R. R. Bogert, G. N. Campbell, F. J. Grenny.
Rete Deicke A. Howler eke Keteheson) © EL Mekeel, I W. Mott, Walter
McMahon, A. R. Rogers. The following visitors were also present: John K. Tiffany,
President of the American Philatelic Association, W. C. Stone, I. A. Mekeel, Alvah
Davidson, Geo. W. Rode, J. H. Houston, Gus. J. Luhn, W. B. Caldwell, Mr. Wheatherston,
In the absence of the President and Secretary; Mr. S. B. Bradt was called to take the
chair and Mr. H. F. Ketcheson to act as Secretary. The Convention was then called to
order. The chairman appointed the following committee on credentials: R. F.
Albrecht, R. R. Bogert, H. A. Fowler. The chairman announced that all holding proxies
should hand same to this committee at once. The Convention adjourned for fifteen
minutes to give the committee on credentials time to report. The committee on credentials
intimated to the chairman that they were ready, the Convention was called to order and
the committee begged to make the following report: H. F. Ketcheson, 25 proxies, three
thrown out, H. A. Fowler, two, Walter McMahon, one, J. F. Grenny, one. The three
proxies rejected was because the members giving them had not paid their dues and were
not entitled to vote; signed R. F. Albrecht, R. R. Bogert, H. A. Fowler. It was moved and
seconded that this report be received and adopted. On motion the roll call was dispens-
ed with and minutes of last meeting taken as read. The chairman appointed the follow-
ing committees: Finance,—G. N. Campbell, Walter McMahon, L. W. Mott. Libra
ie ei eoters, Enh, Ketcheson, F. J. Grenny; Exchange,—R. R. Bogert,
Walter McMahon, F. J. Grenny; Constitution and By-laws,—H. F. Ketcheson, F. J.
Grenny, Walter McMahon, H. A. Fowler and the chairman, S. B. Bradt. Reports of the
officers were then read. The President not having sent in any report, the reports of the
Secretary-Treasurer were then read and were as follows :—

SECRETARY'S REPORT.

BELLEVILLE, August 15th, 1892.

GENTLEMEN,—I have the pleasure to submit herewith my annual report. The year
just closed has been one of struggle and yet not of despair. Assailed in many directions
we have yet had friends who have spoken a good word and have helped us to succeed.
Looking towards the future it will be seen that our prospects are better than they were a
year ago, andif all the present members will stand by us there is no reason why we
should not grandly succeed in the coming year. All the difficulties are not out of the
way as the Superintendant of Exchange will inform you, but matters are now improving
and I would ask the members to give a long pull, a strong pull and a pull all together, I
would ask your attention to the following report :—

106

THE DOMINION PHILATELIST.

At last convention we showed a nominal membership of

DEDUCT

Dropped during year
Resigned during year

ADD

New members

Present membership

It might be seen at first glance that we had lost ground,

25
16

85

but such is not the case.

The nominal list of members included a large number (fully 30) who were a year or more
in arrears so that our actual membership at the time of Convention was much less than
the nominal membership. At the present time nearly every member is paid up to 3oth
June. Payments are coming in every day. Our new membership is composed of men
who, I think, will stay with us, and I hope our roll of members will be much larger when

the time for another Convention arrives.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

It was then moved by H. A. Fowler, seconded by Walter McMahon, that the reports
of the Secretary-Treasury be received and handed to the Finance Committee.—Carried
The report of the Trustees was then read, and is as follows :—

ReEOR OF Die TRUSTEES OF THE CANADIAN
PHIEATELIC ASSOCIATION.

QUEBEC, zoth August, 1892.
To the Members of the Canadian Philatelic Association :

GENTLEMEN,—We have the honour to submit the following report bearing upon the
administration of the affairs of the Association during our term of office,

As you are no doubt aware we have had many difficulties to contend with; some of
which have been satisfactorily arranged, while on the other hand there still remains a very
important matter which we consider advisable to present to the members in Convention,
with a view of having a decision arrived at as to the best action which can be taken to
overcome the difficulty.

The first difficulty which was brought to our notice, was that in connection with the
Library. The late officer in charge refused to send the books, papers, etc., in his posses-
sion and belonging to the Association to the present Librarian, Major A E. Labelle, of
Montreal. However, after considerable correspondence the matter was settled and the
books, etc. forwarded to the above mentioned officer and in whose possession they now

remain,

Another matter which received our attention was in connection with the Exchange
Department. One of the members, for reasons best known to himself, retained one of
the circuit books and only after considerable time, and trouble, was he made return the
books in question. This delay on his part caused much dissatisfaction, as the owners of the
sheets were prevented from knowing their actual standing with the Exchange Department.

The greatest difficulty we have had to deal with has been the matter of the Exchange
Department and which remains unsettled. The late Exchange Superintendent, Mr. F. J.
Grenny, with the exception of the one herewith, has never sent a statement showing the
position of affairs, although repeatedly requested to do so by our President, Dr. C. E.
Cameron, of Montreal, and by the Trustees. On two occasions the latter requested a de-
tailed statement of the monies received and expended by him, but to date no satisfactory

108 THE DOMINION PHILATELIST.

result has been obtained. This has been a very serious matter to the Association, and
has been calculated to work considerable harm, not only in view of the members interest-
ed in the Department during his administration, but on account of the effect it had on
the business carried on since Mr. H. F. Ketcheson’s election to office. This gentleman
has had to contend with many difficulties, caused directly by the trouble under consider-
ation, and has never had the opportunity of making the Department the success it would
otherwise have attained.

We strongly recommend the members in Convention to decide upon taking such
action as will compel Mr. Grenny not only to return the books of the Association, but
to furnish a statement of the affairs in order to enable a settlement with such as are inter-
ested, and we consider that no excuse can be entertained for any longer delay, as every
opportunity has been given Mr. Grenny to make a statement had he desired so to do.

We also submit statement showing the members owing the Exchange Department and
those having claims against it. Many of the names given appear to us to be responsible
parties and we cannot but express surprise that they allow the matter to remain unsettled
and trust they will see the justice of immediately placing themselves in a favourable light
and enabling a settlement to be arrived at, and making our Association what it should be,
one of the best in existence.

The following is the balance sheet referred to and which was furnished by Mr. Grenny,
on the zoth June last :—

account. Mr. Fred. Ineson, under date 27th May, has informed us that Mr. Grenny ad-
vised him on the 7th August, 1891, that there remained a balance to his credit of $3.35.
You will notice that no mention is made of this in above statement. An explanation
is now in order.

We regret that time will not permit our attending the convention, and trust that the
meeting will be a successful one and that this matter will be considered thoroughly, as
upon its result will in a great measure depend our success in the future. Remove the
present difficulty and matters will no doubt turn out favorably. Wishing you every success
and a pleasant and large meeting. We remain, gentlemen, yours very truly,

MONTEFOIRE JOSEPH, |

Mr. Grenny desired to make a few remarks, as this report spoke of some matters in
which he was interested. He said he had done his best to straighten up the affairs of the
Exchange Department, but owing to the Halifax Branch and Wilson Wilby having a
number of books in their possession for several months, delay had been caused and much
dissatisfaction. Referring to the statement contained in the Trustees’ report, showing the
assets and liabilities as at present, he desired to state that he had made every effort to
collect these amounts, but had failed. He had tried to do his duty to the best of his ability.

Mr. H. F. Ketcheson then said that he was of the opinion that two-thirds of the de-
linquent accounts could be collected, and that he would undertake the task providing this
Convention would give him the authority. It was then moved by G. N. Campbell
seconded by R. R. Bogert, that this Convention authorize H. F. Ketcheson to take over
the affairs of the Exchange Department as conducted by F. J. Grenny, and that he have
authority to collect all accounts and settle all balances due.—Carried.

EXCHANGE SUPERINTENDENT'S. REPORT.

The report of the Exchange Superintendent was then read :

To the Officers and Members of the Canadian Philatelic Association ;

GENTLEMEN,—I have the honor to submit the following report of the Exchange
Department. I received altogether one hundred and sixty filled sheets, these we made
into twenty-nine books and placed on circuits ; twenty-eight of these books have com-
pleted circuits, one book is still out on circuit.

The total value of the 150 filled sheets was $1350.20. The total sales from the 28
books that have completed circuits was $340.10, being an average of over 25 per cent.,
which I consider very satisfactory. ‘Two balance sheets accompany this report. The
first gives a statement of the expenses and receipts of this department ; the second gives
a statement of the balance due from and owed to the members of this Department.

I have experienced considerable difficulty during the year in working my department,
owing to the unsatisfactory condition of the affairs under my predecessor. I have
reason to believe that these old accounts will all be settled shortly, and then I will
prophecy an era of prosperity in this department.

Many of our members who formerly bought and sold largely from the Exchange De-
partment have not participated during the past year, they have been waiting for the old

accounts to be settled.
H. F. KETCHESON.

The statement of assets and liabilities showed a balance due to members of $47.93.
The statement was also made that not one bad debt had been contracted during the year.

LIBRARIAN’S REPORT

To the President and Members of the Canadian Philatelic Association :
GENTLEMEN,—-I beg to hand you my annual report for the year 1891-1892 as Librarian.
I have received during that time for the library, the following gifts, which were duly
acknowledged in the official organ.

Although the number of pieces in the library is quite large, considering the time our
society has been in existence, I must say that only 1,825 pieces really compose the
library, the balance 2056 is composed of duplicate stamp papers, and about 400 price
lists and auction sale catalogues (not priced) which are entirely useless.

I was appointed Librarian in October last, but my predecessor did not send me the
books until the end of December, and after the glowing accounts he had given of the
library, and of the work he was doing, I was rather disappointed at the state it was in. Any
way, as soon as I could put it im order, and take out the duplicates, I published a full
catalogue of what it contained, in the official organ, advising the members at the same
time that I would supply them with any books, providing they would pay postage and
return them within ten days, but during the year only one member availed himself of the
opportunity.

I would suggest that at this annual meeting the members would authorize the Librarian
to sell the duplicate papers, the proceeds to be applied towards getting a good box, in
which the papers would be kept in alphabetical order, which would be a great saving of
time and work to the Librarian. Some of the best papers could also be bound, if any of
the money is left, but I would not advise the Society to spend any money on them, unless

the members get to using them frequently, which would make this department of some
use to them. The whole of which is respectfully submitted.
I remain Mr. President and gentlemen, yours very truly,

It was moved by H. F. Ketchesun and seconded by A. R. Rogers that the Librarian be
authorized to sell the duplicate publications in the Library, and apply proceeds to furnish-
a case for same, and for binding complete volumes, carried.

The next order of business was the election of officers. In the absence of the
Secretary the ballots had been entrusted to Mr. H. F. Ketcheson and were here produced.
The President appointed H. F. Ketcheson and A. R. Rogers as scrutineers to examine
the ballots and make report. Ina few minutes the report was handed to the Chairman
who then declated the following officers duly elected: E.F. Wurtele, President; A. A.
Bartlett, Vice-President ; T. S. Clark, Secretary-Treasurer.

H. F. Ketcheson, Exchange Superintendent ; A. E. Labelle, Librarian; L. Gibb,
Counterfeit Detector ; W.H. Brouse, Walter McMahon and Henry Ades Fowler,Trustees.

The Finance Committee then made the following report : ‘That they have examined the
books and report of the Secretary-Treasurer and the vouchers, accompanying same, and
find them correct. Signed,G. N Campbell, Walter McMahon, L. W. Mott.

The Chairman then announced that if there was no other business to come before the
Convention they would adjourn. It was then moved by H. F..Ketcheson, seconded by
IL. W. Mott, that the next convention be held at the city of Quebec, to meet at
the call of the President.—Carried unanimously.

It was then moved by G. N. Campbell seconded by Walter McMahon, that this Con-
vention adjourn szve die. —Carned.

STAMP PRINTING.

From Vindin’s Monthly, by A, J. Derrick.

PERHAPS there are few branches of Philately, that carry with them more in-
terest to the general reader, than the various processes by which the stamps are
produced, particularly when, as in many cases, the methods used show themselves
on the face of the stamps, and in this way come within the range of the amateur
collector, as well as the advanced philatelist. Thus if a stamp is printed directly
from an engraved plate, it is readily discernable from the ordinary lithographed
copy; and one that is type printed from both. It has occured to me that a short
description of the three principal methods that have been used in the production
of our treasures may not prove uninteresting, and I have accordingly jotted down
a few notes regarding the “Engraved” or plate-printed stamps, the “Lithographed’’
or transferred stamp, and those produced by the present more generally used
system of Electrotyping.

“ Engraved” stamps, such as the Sydney Views and Laureated of New South
Wales, the first issue Van. Dieman’s I,and,and some of the Victorian “Queen on
the Throne,” are dear to the hearts of collectors, not only because of their intrinsic
value and great variety in shade and detail, but because in clear copies the beauty
of the stamps themselves attract their attention, particularly when they are for-
tunate enough to possess the early or proof-impressions ; and the thought is often
expressed, “ What a pity the same standard of excellence has not always been
kept up”! But a moments reflection will show that, however beautiful our steel
or copper engraving, may be, yet the methods by which they are produced, by
its very slowness, must fall altogether short of the requirements of the present
day, when stamps are needed and used in such vast quantities—leaving out of the

112 THE DOMINION PHILATELIST.

question the wearing of the plates on the production of so many, and the conse-
quent cost of renewal—and although the electrotypes in use at the present time
are faithful enough to the die from whence the design comes, yet no raised type
can ever produce the effect that engraved lines do. The usual method of plate-
printing is as follows: As soon as the plate leaves the engraver’s hands it is
ready for the press, and the process is very simple and slow. The lines of the
engraving are, of course, sunk into the copper or steel, the face of the plate is then
covered with a thick oily ink, which fills up all the depressions. The ink from
the face has then to be carefully removed ; it is first wiped with a cloth, and
afterwards with the palms of the hands rubbed on fine whiting ; when this is fin-
ished, no ink remains except in the indentations. The plate is then laid on the
press with a piece of damp paper over it, and then passed under a roller covered
with some woollen material, which forces it to leave the impressions of the engraved
lines on the paper with the ink which they had retained, Although by machinery
this is accomplished more quickly than the process seems to indicate, yet it is
necessarily very slow, and when stamps are wanted in such great quantities it is
out of the question, and some other and quicker method has to be adopted. The
methods of producing the steel and copper plates are many and various in detail
but generally speaking, they are either cut directly into the metal by the engraver’s
tools, or the plate is covered with a special preparation (variously composed) of a
waxy nature called the etching ground, upon which the design is laid from a paper
transfer upon which it has been drawn. The engraver then carefully removes the
ground where the lines are to go, and then by the application of Agua-fortis the
design is eaten into the metal, after which it is finished by hand, and so in either
method, as no engraver could produce from 24 to 50 stamps exactly alike in
plate-printed stamps, there are usually as many varieties of type as the plate con-
tains engravings. Another notable way of producing engraved stamps was
practised by Perkins, Bacon & Co., of London, in the production of the plates of the
second issue Van Dieman’s Land and the 1d. and 6d. Queen on Throne, Victoria.
One die was made in steel by hand; this was then transferred to a soft steel
roller, The roller was then hardened, and as many impressions as required were
then rolled into a softened steel plate, which was hardened in turn, and made
ready for use; of course, in this way, there could be no variety in the stamps.
The system of producing stamps by means of the lithographic stone is a much
more expeditious one, but one which often mars the beauty of the engraving
lamentably, particularly when the inking is not very evenly done. The first issue
of Victoria—the half-length portrait of Queen is a good example of this style,
only one die is of course necessary—but a.plate of engravings can just as readily
be used as in the case of the 2d. Queen on throne Victoria, which were litho-
graphed from the engraved plate previously used. An impression from the die is
first made on a specially prepared transfer paper; this is then laid face down-
wards on an ordinary lithographic stone, which takes the impression of the litho-
graphic ink used in printing. As many of these impressions can be placed side
by slde as desired, and then in a printing machine there is practically no limit to
the number of copies that can be worked off, providing always that the inking
rollers work uniformly and well. By this plan the difficulty of keeping up the
supply is quite obviated, as the number-oftransfers can be increased at pleasure

THE DOMINION PHILATELIST. nie

and any number of inachines kept going at the same time ; and while it was not
necessary to abandon the plan in favour of the present system because of its
slowness,yet we have only to look at some of our lithographed stamps to see that
_ this plan was not always satisfactory, although with the improved lithography of
the present day it could no doubt be made much more so now. But almost un-
iversally the system of reproduction by means of electrotypes has come into use
at the present day, both for stamps and postcards, and is found to work admirably,
only the pity is that some of our Australian Governments do not take the trouble
to get the die engraved better before they start to print the stamps. Tasmania
and Western Australia are perhaps the only Australian colonies that can claim
any excellence in current stamps, and they are of English printing! The art of
electrotyping is the production of copies of objects in copper by means of the
electric current, and depends upon the fact that the current decomposes any
solution through which it flows, separating it into its component parts. If this
be pure water, oxygen and hydrogen gases are evolved ; if a metallic solution,
the metal is liberated and deposited upon the prepared surface of whatever is to
be copied. In the case of stamps, moulds or casts of the steel or copper die to
be reproduced, are made in soft printers’-type metal, and appear, when made, just
the same as ordinary newspaper stereotypes. When the number of casts required
have been taken, they are all arranged in the order required and screwed up
tightly together at the bottom of a wooden or earthenware vat, containing besides
the moulds. a special solution of four parts copper sulphate (bluestone) ; 20 parts
water,and one part sulphuric acid by weight. A copper plate with a wire attached
is also placed in the vat on one side, and the moulds attached to another wire at
the top edge, placed opposite to it—both in the solution, these wires are then
connected with the positive and negative poles of a weak voltaic battery—which
gives a regular electric current from the battery to the copper plate, then to the
casts through the solution, and then back to the battery. As the current passes
through the solution it has the power, as previously mentioned, of displacing the
metallic copper held in solution, and depositing it upon the prepared surface of
the moulds, being copied, beginning where the wire is attached, and gradually
creeping over the surface. After a few hours a layer of copper about the thick-
_ness of brown paper will be deposited, and can be increased in thickness by being
immersed longer—the rate being about 1-16th of an inch per day, The moulds
and their copper covering are then removed, and by inserting the point of a knife
the copper comes away in one plate, containing accurate impressions of every one
of the casts—only, of course, depressions, that is, the same as the original die
or matrtr, as it is called. If it is then desired to print from raised type or relief
(as in stereotypes for newspaper work) by repeating the process and making the
copper plate act as the matrix, a new one can be made exactly resembling the
first moulds of the soft metal, now in copper ready to print from. This copper
plate containing usually 120 or 240 stamps, is then heated, “tinned” over on the
back, and backed up with stereotype metal. The metal is melted and poured
over the backs of the electro, which has a frame or edging of iron placed around
it. It is then trimmed off to the ordinary gauge of type, and is ready for the
printing press; in this case, it is printed from the flat in the same way as an
ordinary form of set-up type. Thisisthe way in which the electros, from which

114 THE DOMINION PHILATELIST.

all the Victorian stamps are printed—are used—that is, with raised type and
mounted ; but instead of being mounted and used flat, it can be formed into a
semi-circle and printed from a cylinder, as in the ease of the great daily papers.
If the original stamp isa wood-cut the design is raised, and then the first electro-
type is ready for printing, and there is no need for the repetition. Post-cards are
produced in the same way by setting up as many as are wanted for the sheet in
ordinary printer’s type, with an electro for the stamp, and the whole electrotyped
together. All sorts of other things are used for the moulds besides type metal,
such as gutta-percha, plaster of Paris, sealing-wax, and the like ; but in each case
these being non-conducting materials, the face of the moulds have to be brushed
over with plumbago or black-lead and then polished, as the deposit of copper can
only take place on a conducting surface. Theseelectrotype plates can of course be
destroyed as soonas they begin to wear, and new ones be made, so that from one
die millions of stamps can be and are produced, and yet the die is none the worse,
and ‘proof impressions” are plentiful. It can thus be reacily seen that this
system is very much in advance of the old. For if the die is well engraved every
stamp is also, for one is an exact counterpart of the other to the minutest line,
although, as before mentioned, no raised type impression equals in artistic merit
those produced from engraved lines. This, then, is what the stamp printing
branches of our Postal Departments are at every day to keep up the enormous
supply of stamps needed in these progressive times, and there is no need in the
case of these latter day stamps todamage one’s eyesight and exhaust one’s patience
by gazing at them with a magnifying glass to discover microscopic differences,
which our advanced brother, “The Plater,” searches for, but we can put away
our specimen with the certain knowledge that there are millions more so like it—

that the likeness of the proverbial “two peas” is but a very faint comparison.

CLEVELAND, °O., Sei77, ra92:
L..S. Clank, Secy (C.P.A. Belleville, Ont.

DEAR Sir.—As sec’y of the C.P.A. I wish tocall your attention to one Thos.
O. Pardoe, of Ingersoll. He claims membership in your society, and is using it
to help out in a skin game he is working. In the July number of the American
Philatelist he inserted an advertisement as follows:—“ The four Canadian envel-
opes for $1.00.” Of course the price was a give away, but in correspondence
with him he claimed a discovery of a quantity hence low rate, and upon his claim
of membership in the C.P.A. and numerous references I was foolish enough to
remit for 18 sets ; when the envelopes came, I found them simply old hand stamps
of postage due, &c., and not worth anything. The young man claims ignorance
and says he was selling for a party in London, who did the shipping. I find out
since that the youth writes letters under an assumed name, and an attempt at
disguising his hand writing, and so takes the part of the supposed London party

THE DOMINION PHILATELIST. 115

as well as himself. He dallies around and refuses to make any restitution, so I
wish you would see that your Canadian journals publish the young man and stop
any further attempts at fraud. I have no doubt many others were caught. I will
say in conclusion that Pardoe sets himself up as a dealer and probably works
other games so I trust you will help to check his career. Respectfully

Ae eanlist: J. J. OVERTON, Cleveland, Ohio.

[The above letter was handed us by the Secretary of C.P.A.—Pardoe was a
member of C.P.A. some time ago but was expelled for non-payment of dues.
He then joined the Philatelic Society of Canada of which we believe he is now a
prominent member,

We saw the advertisement which caught Mr. Overton and felt sure then that
Pardoe was working some scheme to swindle. We have received numerous other
complaints against him, his reputation as a stamp dealer is bad and we would
advise all our readers to have nothing to do with him.—£ED. |

* * *

MANY are the ways adopted by ingenious stamp frauds to catch the unwary
dealer. J. J. Morgan, of Camden, N. J., originated a little scheme which worked
well, and now many are the dealers who are looking after his scalp, assisted
ably by the U. S. Post Office Department. Morgan’s plan was to send out a
circular announcing that in a few days he intended publishing the “Columbia
Philatelist,” he accompanied this circular by another stating that he had a large
amount of spare cash which he desired to invest in good United States stamps,
and offering high prices for the same, and stating that he would not purchase
any stamps till he had seenthem. The owners, however, never saw the promised
cash, and the following letter from the P. O. Department to one of his dupes
explains why :

CAMDEN, Camden Co., N.)). Sept. 2; 78092.
Mr. C. S. McKee,

Hewes im tepkr to your letter of the 30th I will state that the
reason your postal card was returned was owing to J. J. Morgan having de-
camped for parts unknow prior to its receipt, and a few days alike the receipt
ei your stamps. He isa fraud, and you are but one of a great number of
stamp dealers who have been victimized by him. A warrant is in the hands of
a U. S. Marshall for his apprehension, and the case is in charge of W. P.
Edgarton, Post Office Inspector, at Room No. 12, Post Office Building, Phila.

Respectfully,
WM. J. BROWNING, P. M.

* * *

I have a few sets 4 varieties complete of the first issue British Columbia law
for sale at $2.00 per set, as these stamps have been obsolete for several years and
only a limited number were issued, they will soon be unobtainable. Order now.

JusT before going to press we received from R. F. Albrecht & Co., go Nassau
St. New York City, a copy of their Complete Catalogue of all postage stamps
and envelopes of the United States, including all gcvernment and local issues and
those of the Confederate States. It catalozues 776 varieties and gives the prices
for both used and unused ; it is strongly and neatly bound and can be carried in the
vest pocket. Every stamp is priced as near its actual value as the constant
changes will allow. We consider it indispensible to every collector of U.S.
stamps. The name of the author (R. F. Albrecht) isa guarantee of the thorough-
ness of the work. For prices &c., see our advertising columns,

WHEN in Toronto a few days ago we called on Mr. W, H Brouse and were
permitted to see his collection of B. N. A. stamps, and must say it is the finest
all round collection of these stamps we ever saw; only think of Newfoundland
vermilion shillings by the % dozen, 4 Canada 12 pence, % dozen each N. B. and
N. S., shillings, genuine used Connell and pages of the other pence issues of the
provinces comprising every known shade and variety of paper, and you will then
have a meagre idea of what it is like. Mr. Brouse has been collecting from a boy

and is justly proud of his collection,

THE DOMINION PHILATELIST. my,

THE following clipped from Vndin's Monthly gives a good idea of the machine
used to roulette the old Victoria stamps :—The rolling-pin rouletter, as it was
called, consists of an iron spindle with a wooden handle at each end, similar in
shape to the handles of an ordinary rolling-pin, and seven circular steel cutters
like spurs arranged between the handles, and separated from each other at equal
distances by iron tubular washers. The spindle is 141% inches long, and the cen-
tral portion of it, 6 inches in length, is half an inch in diameter, while the remain-
ing 4% inches at each end, over which the handles are fixed, tapers from 3 inch
diameter next the central portion to % inch diameter at the ends, forming
shoulders with the central portion for the handles to be fixed against. The
handles, which are hollow to allow the spindle ends to pass through them, are
4% inches long, and vary in diameter to suit the hand, being about one inch at
the thickest part ; they have brass caps for ferrules on one end, and iron washers
on the other. One of them is firmly fixed to one end of the spindle which passes
through it, and is rivetted over the iron washer, while the other is movable, and
can be fixed by a nut which screws on a worm at the other end of the spindle.
The circular steel cutters are 3-16 inch by 1 ¥% inch diameter at the cutting edges,
having 44 teeth of 1-16 inch in width, with gaps of I-50 inch between them
(approximate measurement). The iron washers are 54 inch diameter by 5 inch,
and 34 inch in length respectively, according as they are used for the sides, or
top and bottom of the stamps, having to be changed in each case. In using the
rouletter the sheet of stamps was laid upon a block of boxwood, planed perfectly —
true on the upper surface, and about two inches thick, 6% inches wide, and 12
inches long ; the rouletter being rolled firmly over the sheet so that the cutters
came between the rows of stamps, two rolls each way being required to complete
a sheet of one hundred and twenty stamps. This rouletter appears to gauge
about 8% tog mm. I have been informed that another rouletter, consisting of
one wheel affixed toa handle, was also in use for a time at the stamp window of
the General Post Office, but I have not learned any further particulars.

WE have received the Standard Stamp Company’s new price list, consisting
of 64 pages and cover, fully illustrated. It is very neatly printed and full of
tempting offers. The publishers inform us that they printed 35,000 copies and
that the list will cost them over $1,500, including postage, etc., undoubtedly the
largest amount of money ever spent on a stamp price-list. They will gladly
send a free copy to every collector who will address them at 925 LaSalle Street,

THE A. P. A. Convention at Niagara Falls, was a decided success, and the
utmost harmony prevailed. Much good work was done, especially the arrange-
ment regarding the official organ. The committee incharge of arrangements
are to be congratulated on the satisfactory manner in which they performed
their duties.

Mr. G. N. BELL a prominent collector of Port Hope is at present in Belleville
attending college, he still keeps up his interest in stamps and never looses an
opportunity to acd something good to his collection.

formed left Ingersoll and token up his residence somewhere in Michigan ; we
notice his advertisement still running in some journals and would warn our
readers to beware of him.

WE have been informed on good authority that the Canadian Philatelist has

grown wealthy and has decided to travel (out of the publishing business.)

CHRONICEES OF NEW ISSUES, ETC.

Conducted by William C. Stone, Springfield, Mass. to whom all information
respecting new issues, etc., should be sent.

The figures in parenthesis after the names of the countries refer to the number of this paper containing the last
previous notice. Colors in italics represent the colors of the surcharges, All envelopes unless otherwise stated
are on white wove paper, All post cards unless otherwise stated are on buff cardboard.

ADHESIVES.

ANGRA.—Two more values have been added to the stamps of the new issue which has
just come into use. 5 reis, orange; Io reis, red violet.

ARGENTINE.—One of our contemporaries is informed that the new stamps are all ready
for issue but will be witheld from circulation until the stock of current issue, which is
quite large, is entirely disposed of.

Austria.— Zhe Monthly Journal has seen the % kr. newspaper stamp perforated 7, 8
9, 10%, 11, 11%, 12%. Also the (x kr.) lilac with various compounds.

Austria Lrvant.—The 8 paras on 2 kr/ which was to have appeared June 1, was
immediately withdrawn on account of that value not being recognised asa postage stamp
by the Ottoman post office. An obliging speculator kindly relieved the authorities of the
15,000 which has been printed and they can be had for a consideration.

BaRBADOS.—The current 4 penny stamps to the number of 120,000 have been defaced,
—beg pardon—surcharged, with the words “Half Penny” just above the original value. %
penny on 4 p., brown; 4/ack. As an experiment a quarter sheet of 60 stamps was surcharged
in red ink but it was too indistinct and so was run through the press again with black ink,
making a double surcharge. The London Philatelist is informed that four sheets (240
stamps) were thus treated. They were of course all bought up by collectors. ‘“ Rule
Britannia ; Britannia rules the waves ; Britons never, never shall be slaves.” The loyal
Barbadians evidently believe in the above song for the new issue of stamps which went
into use about the middle of July have Britannia in a shell chariot, drawn by a pair of sea
horses ruling the waves with her trident ina most royal manner. The name of the colony
appears in white letters at the top and the value at the bottom. Watermark Crown C.A.,
perforate 14. J. A. Wainwright has our thanks for the first news of these stamps. 1%
penny, green ; 1 penny, carmine ; 214 penny, ultramarine ; 5 penny, gray bister ; 6 penny,
violet and red ; 8 penny, orange and ultramarine ; 10 penny, blue, green and carmine ; 2
sh. 6p., black and orange.

BIKANIR.—The stamps which hail from this state have always been considered fiscals
by most authorities but the editor of the Monthly Journa/ has received information which
shows that the 14 anna at least has been used as a postage stamp for a dozen years or so.
The lower value has the name of the state in a straight line at the top in Devanagari
characters with ‘‘QUARTRANA ” in rude letters below it. The lower half of the stamp
also contains two lines of inscription, being the value “ Paon anna” in Devanagari and

b

122 TERE DOMINION PHILATELIST.

Persi-Arabic respectively. In the corners are fanned shaped ornaments. The 14 anna is
similar to the 1 anna except for the value. There are two types of the 1 anna, the second
being somewhat larger than the first. The first type contains three lines of inscriptions
giving the value in the three languages as in the lower values, but there seems to be no
inscription to show from whence the stamp comes. In the second type this omission has
been rectified by the insertion of the name of the state in Devanagari between the values
in the two lower lines. This gives four lines for the second type and will enable collectors
to readily distinguish between the two. % anna, black; ™% anna, red ; 1 anna, red; 1
anna, red.

Brazit, U. S. or.—One of our French exchanges is informed that new stamps have
been ordered from one of the New York bank note companies. Let us hope that it is so -
and that we shall have no more of the abominations that the Southern Cross republic has
inflicted upon us for the past two years.

British NoRtH BorRNEO.—By a strange oversight we have neglected to state that the
6 on 8 cents can also be found with the error ‘‘ cetns.” We trust our readers will pardon
this important oversight.

BritisH CeEnrRAL ArricA.—E. A. Holton has shown us the 5 shilling stamp with the
additional surcharge of ‘‘ Four Shillings” in narrow block letters. 4 sh. on 5sh. yellow ;
black. This stamp is intended primarily for the payment of a native poll tax it is said, but
as the stamps are used for both postal and revenue purposes we list it here.

CryLon.—After a rest of several months the surcharge fiend has again resumed control
and we have two new specimens of his work to chronicle. A 3 cent stamp being needed
for some purpose the four and 28 cent stamps have had their original values erased with
a horizontal bar and “3 Cents” surcharged just above it. We have not yet learned of
any errors. 3 cents on 4c., violet mauve, d/ack ; 3 cents on 28c., blue, gray.

Corompia.—From Henry Gremmel we have received a new set of stamps, the designs
of all except the 24, 20 cent and 1 peso being the current types. 1 centavo, red on yellow;
2 centavo, green on buff; (Retardo) 2% centavo, ultramarine on pink ; 5 centavo, black
on buff; 10 centavo, brown on pink ; 20 centavo, brown on blue; 50 centavo, mauve on
lilac ; r peso, blue on green ; (Registration) ro centavos, brown on salmon,

Conco Frere Statre.—tThe color of the 5 franc stamp has been changed to gray Das
Postwertzeichen is informed and the usual surcharge has been resorted to for the postal
packet value. 5 francs, gray; 3 fr. 5oc., on 5 fr., gray, d/ack. It is reported that the 50
cent is also to be changed and that the high values of 25 and 50 francs which were announced
as being in preparation some time since are nearly ready for issue.

F1j1.—The provisional 4 penny has been replaced by a stamp of the same general design
as the rest of the set but with the design more elaborated. The numerals of values appear
in the four interior angles and the inscriptions are in white letters in straight lines and
larger type than before. Perforate 10, % penny, pearl gray.

FRaNcE.—Three new parcel stamps have been in use since July t, according to the
Revue Philateliqgue. ‘They are 34mm. in height and rgmm. wide and bear inscriptions in
six lines signifying their use. Perforate 134%. 25 cent, brown on yellow, (apport a la
gare) ; 10 cent, vermilion, (valour declaree) ; 25 cent, green, (livraison par expres).

FuNCHAL.—Two more of the stamps are saidto be inuse. 5 reis, orange; Io reis, red
violet.

GREAT Britain.—The 4p, is nearly ready. The design has the head of the Queen
in an inscribed circle on a maltese cross with numerals of value on square tablets in each
angle. ‘The colors are said to be red and green.

Honpuras.—Some months ago we saw a proof of the new stamps of this State and
J. A. Wainwright sends us information that he has received several values used. The
central design represents Columbus standing on the prow of his ship pointing out the new
world to a companion who stands beside him. This design is taken from the statute to
the great navigator at Genoa, we think. The values and colors are said to be as follows: —
I centavo, gray; 2 centavo, dark blue; 5 centavo, light green; 10 centavo, dark green ;
20 centavo, vermilion , 25 centavo, brown ; 30 centavo, light blue ; 40 centavo, orange 5 75
centavo, carmine ; I peso, purple.

Horta.—Two more values for this district of the Azores. 5 reis, orange ; 10 reis, red
violet.

Inpia.—The IIl. Briefmarken Zeitung announces two new values of the current type
with the ““On H. M.S.” surcharge. 4 annas, olive green, d/ack ; 8 annas, violet, d/ack.

Can our Port Louis readers give us any further information on the subject.?

Mexico.—Chas. H. Mekeel has shown us several unperforated stamps of the 1884 issue
on laid paper. 1 centavo, green ; 4 centavo, green ; 10 Centavo, green. ‘There are also
two new errors on wove paper, the 1 cent 1884 in the color of the one peso and the 5 cent
of the 1886 issue in red brown instead of blue. The r cent is perforated and the 5 cent
is not. 5 centavos, red brown, (1886) ; 1 centavo, blue, (1884.)

Morocco. —The French post established in this country has issued a set of stamps of
a very pretty design. The stamps are rectangular in shape and bear a small landscape
and marine view shaded by a palm tree at the left side. The numerals of value are in a
tablet in the lower center like the current French stamps. At the bottom is “ Tanger-Fez”
and at the sides the same (Tanja-Fass) in Arabic at the top between numerals of value is
“‘Postes.” Jerforate 13. 5 cent, green on greenish; ro cent, black on lilac ; 15 cent, blue;
25 cent, black ; 30 cent, carmine on rose ; 5 francs, violet. There is to be a 1 franc stamp
but it is not yet in use we are informed. These stamps are issued by a private post with
approval of French postal authorities who will take the post in charge the first of January.
They are used at present between Alcazar, Fez, Mequinez, Larache, Tangier. Other offices
are soon to be opened in Tetuan, Robat, Casablanca, Mazaghan, Mogador and Saffi.
We are in doubt as to whether the denominations should be rendered in centimes or
centimos as the stamps only bear the numerals of value. The fact that the highest value
is given 5F leads us to believe however that the French values are the correct ones.

New ZEALAND.—Two values of the current issue are said to have been issued with the
surcharge “‘O.P.S.0.” ‘‘On Public Service Only ” is said to be the meaning of the letters.
I penny, rose, volet ; 2 penny, lilac, violet.

Ort River’s PRorectoRAteE.—The //lustrirte Briefmarken Zeitung chronicles several
values of the current English stamps with the surcharge ‘ British—Protectorate—Oil
Rivers” in three lines of block capitals. As specimens have been received at the Post
Office Museum in Berlin they would seem to be all right. But can any of our readers tell
us where this protectorate is located? We can find no mention of it in any reference book
at our command. It is in Africa we have no doubt, but where? Can it refer to the Niger
districts? % penny, vermilion, é/ack ; 1 penny, purple, d/ack ; 2 penny, red and green,
black ; 2 penny, purple, on blue, ddack ; 5 penny, purple and blue, 4/ack ; 1 shilling, green,

PatraLa.—The 4 anna now comes with the revised spelling and three new “ Service ”
stamps. % anna, green, d/ack. Service: 3 annas, orange, d/ack ; 6 annas, bister, black; 12
annas, brown on red, é/ack. Several errors are reported but we postpone their listing
until all the returns are in from the back districts.

Ponta DrELGApDA.—Three new values are announced for this district of the Azores by
the London Philatelist. 5 reis, orange ; 10 reis, red violet ; 80 reis, yellow green.

PortuGaL.—Another value of the new set is announced by the Afonthly Journal. 80
reis, yellow, green. Kings sometimes change their minds as well as common folks it seems.
In our last chronicle we stated that a decree had been issued authorizing the surcharging
of all the remainders of the old series for use as 2% reis stamps. Twelve days after the
above decree was issued appeared another in which King Carlos orders that the surcharge
shall be changed to ‘“‘Provisoria,” but on the stamps the printer makes it read ‘‘Provisirie.”
We have received the 5 and r1oreis from EK. A. Holton. 5 reis, black, 4/ack ; 10 reis,
green, dlack.

QUEENSLAND.— Zhe Stamp (ews reports the current 5 shilling stamp imperforate.

Saint PIERRE-MIQUELON.—The governor of these fishing stations has inflicted three
more surcharges upon the long-suffering collectors. ‘This time the 25 cent has been
selected as the victim and the overprinting consists of a diagonal surcharge of the name
of the colony between the new numeral of value and the word “cent.” The date of the
decree was June 20, 1892. 1 cent on 25 cent, black on rose; 2 cent on 25 cent, black
on rose; 4 cent on 25 cent, black on rose.

San Marino.—Several new stamps have been issued by this little republic. They
were issued July 15, and are of the same design as the rest of the set. 5 centesimi, gray
green ; 30 centesimi, orange ; 40 centesimi, brown ; 45 centesimi, olive green; 1 lira, red
and yellow. A certain stamp dealer has recently opened an office in the republic and in
his paper, the Sax Marino Philatelist, says, “the correspondence of the Republic is very
small, but since my arrival the work of the officials has very much increased.” We don’t
doubt it. It is to the self same dealer no doubt that thanks are due for the above stamps
and also for the issue of the following provisionals: Juue 25, 5 cent on r1oc., blue,
black ; (20,00c), June 14, 5 cent on 30 c., brown, d/ack ; (10,000), July 7, 10 cent on 2oc.,
red, black ; (40,000). We also note the fact that M. Bickel, the above mentioned dealer
is allowed to cut the 2 cent stamp in half to make up the 5 cent rate with two cent stamps.

SaRAWAK.—The 1871 3 cent stamp has been surcharged “one cent” in two lines in
capitals letters in black. 1 cent on 3c., brown on yellow ; A/ack.

SEYCHELLES.—Le’Echo de la Timbrelogie, says that a 2 rupee stamp is in contemplation

for issue January 1, 1893.

SHANGHAI.—The 15 cent due stamp is announced on watermarked paper. Is the un-
surcharged stamp also in use? Postage Due. 15 cents, blue, d/ack.

Sirmoor.—The official stamps are now surcharged in a smaller type than formerly, 3
pies, orange, b/ack ; 6 pies, green, ved ; 1 anna, blue, ved ; 2 anna, carmine, d/ack.

SourH Austratia.—L’Echo de la Timbrelogie announces that the permanent 2%
and 5 penny stamps have arrived and are in use. They are of the same design as the 4
penny. The 9 penny has changed its color. 24 penny, blue; 5 penny, yellow ochre; 9
penny, rose lilac.

SUAHELI.—Stamps are said to have been issued by this sultanate but prefer to await
more definite information before listing them.

SuRINAM.—Surcharges and provisionals have been issued here it is said. The P#z/-
atelic Journal of Great Britain reports the 24 cent surcharged for use as a 1 cent, and the
Lllustrirte Briefmarken Zeitnng chronicles the 50 cent with the overprint necessary to alter
it to a 24 cent stamp. Also a provisional with name at top, ‘‘ Frankeer Zegel” at bottom,
and value (21% cent) in a rectangular tablet in the centre with four black half moons on
the sides of it. We await further information concerning these interesting specimens.

SwitzZERLAND.—On July 1st appeared a 30 cent stamp of the same general design as
the other values but with many of the details altered or modified. 30 centimes, red.

Tonca.—The 1 and 2 penny stamps have received the addition of a black star in each
of the upper corners to prevent their being transformed into 4 and 8 penny stamps by
fraudulently inclined persons, 1 penny, rose and black; 2 penny purple and black. New
stamps are said to be in preparation, the values being 1, 2, 4, 8, pence and 1 shilling.

ENVELOPES.

AFGHANiSTAN.—Le Timbre quotes the AZadras Maié as its authority for the statement
that envelopes of the value of 1% anna are svon to be issued.

BaHaMas.—The London Philatelist has received the 24% penny envelope but does not
describe it as they hope to illustrate it soon. Size 152x88mm., white laid paper. 2}
pence pale blue.

Ecypr.—A short time ago we listed the 2 piasters with the value changed to 3 milliemes
by means of a surcharge but we have never seen a specimen. Now comes the announce-
ment by an official notice of the withdrawal of the 2 pi. and the surcharging of all the re-
mainders for use as 5 mi. The notice is dated June 9, 1892. Both sizes exist with the
surcharges. Bluish laid paper. 5 milliemes, on 2 piasters, orange, d/ack ; 176x117mm.
145XI1I mm.

GREAT BritTain.—A few more compound envelopes are chronicled by the Aonthly
Journal. 1% penny, yellow x r p., rose; 2 penny, lake x 1 p., rose; 2%4 penny, blue x 1

have stopped it finally. The following varieties are reported by the Monthly Journal: 1x1

WRAPPERS:

New SoutH Wates.—The surcharged $ penny is now out of use having been replaced
by one bearing the current 3 p. stamp. The watermark is “One Penny” but the London
Philatelist thinks this will soon be changed. 4 penny, grey.

TasMANIA.—The same paper has received wrappers with the oval } penny stamp on
blue and white paper and the 2, 3 and 6 penny Platypus stamps, paper not stated. Also
the 2 penny and the ¥%4 penny on the same wrapper. There is to be no more of this stuff
as the authorities have put a veto on it, Mr. Basset Hull writes,

POST CARDS:

ANGRA.—There will probably be a full line of postal cards for each of the numerous
postal districts. ‘The 10 reis for this and several other divisions are at hand and are of
the same design as that for the mother country which we listed a short time since with the
exception of the name on the stamp, 10 reis, green.

Bosnia.—As a consequence of the entry of this province into the Postal Union new
cards have been issued. The inscriptions are in five lines as follows: “ Weltpost-Verein

To the Members Canadian Philatelic Association :

GENTLEMEN,—I desire to convey to you my sincere thanks for the honor
conferred upon me at the late Convention, at which I was elected to the import-
ant office of President of the Canadian Philatelic Association.

Needless to say I will endeavour to perform the duties devolving upon that
office with the best of my ability, and I take this opportunity of calling upon the
members to asssist the officers in making our Association a success in every way.

You are earnestly desired to give your influence towards increasing the roll
of members and no great difficulty presents itself as our ranks are composed of
those who have stood shoulder to shoulder during the past year when we had to
contend with our greatest difficulties and have shown by the position they took
that they mean to stand by the Association and have every confidence in its
future.

As you are aware the old exchange has been banded over to H. F. Ketcheson,
and who expects shortly to pay off its indebtedness, thus allowing the Exchange
Department to enter upon a new life, and let us show by actual participation in
the same that we can support that branch of the Association to the advantage of
the members generally.

Trusting you will show your appreciation of the efforts of the officers by in-
dividual action which will tend in the near future to place the association on a
firm basis, and that we may look forward to a large increase in our membership
by the date of the next Annual Convention.

I have the honor to be, gentlemen, your obedient servant,

ERNEST F. WURTELE, President,

QUEBEC, roth October, 1592.
To the Officers and Members Canadian Philatelic Association :

GENTLEMEN,— Having had the matter of the old Exchange Department un-
der consideration during our term of office as Trustees, we deem it advisable to
present another report in connection with same, after which we hand the book
over to the new Board of Trustees for such future action as may be necessary.

130 THE DOMINION PHILATELIST.

We desire to report as follows: Shortly after mailing our report we received
from Mr. Grenny his Cash Book, but too late to make a note of it at the time.

After a casual examination of his book the Chairman wrote to Mr. Grenny on
the 29th August, requesting to be furnished with the hook containing the ac-
counts kept with the individual members, in order to allow of our making an in-
telligent audit of the books, but to date have not received what we were entitled
to, so have to submit the following statement taken directly from the Cash Book ;

STATEMENT of Receipts and Expenditure of the Exchange Department of the
Canadian Philatelic Association. From 1st Sept. 1888, to 20th July, 1892.

come under this heading :

This balance of $105.16 we consider is a just and proper charge against Mr.
Grenny, and in accordance with the constitution should have been paid cut of
the commission he received of $166.03.

With this amount in hand the old debts can be at once settled and should
have been.

We now call upon Mr. Grenny for an explanation, through the Official
Journal, as to any reason he may have to bring forward why he should not at
once refund this amount.

As before stated, we present this report taken direct from his cash book, and
may to a certain extent be in error for the want of the remainder of the books.
If so, will be pleased to acknowledge our error.

Trusting this matter, which is a serious one, will induce Mr. Grenny to
make the necessary statement.

We have the honor to be, gentlemen,
Your obedient servants,
EARNEST F. WURTELE, Chairman.

he has been communicating with several others who were swindled by Pardoe,
and that they united to bring him to justice. The matter has been placed in the
hands of the P. O. Inspector, at London, Ont., and a good lawyer engaged at
Ingersoli. Any others who have been swindled would do well to write to J. J.

THE New Zealand Government recently charged A. Schlesinger, quite a pro-
minent collector and dealer of Christchurch, N. Z., with “having dealt in fictitous
stamps” and “with having fictitious stamps in his possession.’ A number
of witnesses were examined and after hearing the evidence the bench magistrates
delivered the following decision: “In these kind of cases if a defendant enters
into business he does so under certain risks and responsibilities, and we must
carry out the law. There was no intention to show that he committed those
forgeries, but there were certain responsibilities to be carried out. The Act pro-
vides for special penalties, but the Court will inflict only a nominal fine in this
Case on account of the very heavy costs. The defendant will be convicted of
dealing in forged stamps and fined 41, costs of Court 13s., witnesses £12 4s. 2d.,
and solicitor’s fee £2 2s.; or, in default two months imprisonment with hard labor.
The second, which is practically the same as the first case will be dismissed.

FROM “ Vindin's Monthly” we \earn that a new set of stamps are in course of
preparation for Tonga. The cancellation of the Cook Islands Federation Stamps
for the head office (presumably the only one at present) consists ofa double lined
rectangular frame enclosing “ Post Office—Cook Islands” in two lines with the
date between. The cancellation is in lilac, apparently effected with a rubber
stamp, with movable dates—-Vzndin'’s Monthly.

MUCH to our surprise the “ Canadian Philatelist,” whose obituary we published
last month, turned up a few days ago seemingly as robust as ever. Our inform-
ant was trustworthy, and so we had no hesitation in publishing his news,

Mr. T. S. CLARK of Belleville has shown us a specimen of the 3 cent third
issue Canada bill stamp on watermarked paper. We have also been informed
that the 6 cent has also been discovered of watermarked paper,

THREE new Stamp Journals have recently appeared in Canada; Zhe [nter-
national Philatelist, 13 Peter St., Toronto; The Ottawa Philatelist, Ottawa, Ont.,
and The Canada Stamp Journal, London, Ont, We wish them prosperity, but we
can assure them they are not on the road to wealth when they start a stamp paper:
This patrotic spirit of which I speak runs its course all round the world, and we

have asa rule the people of a country collecting the stamps of that country ; hence
when I found later on that to attempt to collect on general lines was beyond the

reach of both my purse and my time, and when the decision was arrived at to
make a specialty of Great Britain and her colonies, I found a strong leaning
within me towards the stamps of British North America, They give one quite
a field to work in, and show a vast range of excellence from the beautiful work
on the engraved cents issue of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick to the clap-trap
lithography of the stamps of Prince Edward Island, and while here, just let me drop
a hint in regard to the relative value of the stamps of Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick on one side and Prince Edward Island on the other. I refer particularly
to the pence issues in a used state, and from the first it always seemed a mystery
to me why the issues of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia should be so much more
valued than those of Prince Edward Island. _I say it, and say it fearlessly, that the
one penny Prince Edward Island used is as rare a stamp as the 1 penny Nova Scotia
used, and yet we find the latter catalogued at six times the price of the former,
Iam also sure that a used Prince Edward Island 3 pence is as valuable as the
same denomination of Nova Scotia, and yet here we have the latter catalogued
at seven anda half times the value of the former, and there is not a shadow of
a doubt in my mind of the Prince Edward Island 6 pence used being even more
valuable than the Nova Scotia 6 pence used, yet here we have the latter generally
quoted at some ten times the value of the former. Of course we find the reason
for this in the innumerable quantities of remainders which were on hand when
Prince Edward Island became a province of the Dominion of Canada, and which
has since flooded the philatelic market with their unused ugliness; but, all the
same, the fact is still patent, that in the matter of used stamps the Prince Edward
Island post-office could not have issued to the public anything like the number
of stamps issued by the provinces of either Nova Scotia or New Brunswick. The
population of Prince Edward Island was not probably one-third of either of the
the other provinces, and the number of letter writers must of necessity have been
correspondingly less, so that it requires no prophet to perdict that when these
“unused remainders” are exhausted—and the end is not very far off—we shall
wake up to the fact that used specimens of Prince Edward Island stamps are
worth ten, yes, twenty times, their present catalogue price—A. A. Lartlett in

Stamp News.

MANY strange events happen; a few months ago a certain writer living at
Ottawa, was boasting of the old collections and fine collections of that city, and
at the same time speaking of the President of the C. P. A. as a collector whose
collection was of small account. Mr. Wurtele hearing that prizes were to be
given for the best general collection of stamps at the Central Exhibition, held
at Otttawa, sent his collection there,and succeeded in securing the first prize, and
a bronze medal, also the second prize for his collection of Canadian Revenues.

134 THE DOMINION PHILATELIST.

E. F. Gambs, coin and stamp dealer of this city, was called upon by a secret
service agent of the United States Treasury Department yesterday, who ordered
him to surrender all cuts of old American coins in his keeping, and discontinue
their use after he had disposed of his present catalogues and stationery now on
hand. ‘The new law also forbids the making of any illustrations in wood, or any
other method of illustrating of any coins that were ever coined by the United
States Government, and is now being strictly enforced. In compliance with the
order of A. L. Drummond, chief of the secret service division, Washington, M.
Gambs forwarded to the Secretary of the Treasury all the American coin cuts
used in illustrating his coin pamphlet. There are at least a dozen coin dealers
throughout the United States, who are at present using similar cuts in their re-
spective catalogues and price lists, but should any one be discovered using them
in future, Chief Drummond of the Treasury Department will be thankful for any
information of any person who is violating the law, and assures the informant that
if such information is received, steps will at once be taken to correct the evil.
The law preventing the illustrations of old American postage stamps is an old
one, but on coins, even though old, the law has not hitherto been generally
enforced.— San Francisco Cal.

MANY of our subscribers will wonder why this number comes to hand so Jate.
Well, the fact is, the editor, accompanied by the Secretary of the C.P.A., has
been spending the last two weeks in the woods, and on the northern lakes of
Canada, an account of which will be given in our November number.

D. A. VINDEN & Co. of Sidney, N. S. W.; recently chareed “one Auth
Pollace alias John Mortin, with having stolen postage stamps from them, he having
asked for stamps on approval and failed to return them. He was fined £20 or
six months at hard labour. Ifa few of the approval sheet frauds in this country
were similarly treated there would be less dishonesty.

ON another page of this journal will be found a letter from W. D. Boyd re
stamp exhibit at the World’s Fair; we quite agree with Mr. Boyd and think the
C. P. A. should take some action in the matter.

THE Canada 5 cent Register, present issue, are now being issued in sheets of
100 instead of 50 as formerly. There is also no imprint on the new sheets.

WE would advise all collectors dealers and publishers to avoid Geo, M.
Wabintz, of Louisville, Ky., he refuses to pay for advertising ordered.

SIMCOE, ONT., October 5, 1592.
To the Editor Dominion Philatelist :

DEAR SIR—TI noticed a clipping from the Canadian Philatelist about making
an exhibit at the World’s Fair in Chicago next year ofstamps. Isee the collectors
of the U. S. have applied forspace. Now I think Canada ought to be represented
as I think she could make a very respectable exhibit. It would be a good idea
for committees of the C. P. A., to make arrangements to have such an exhibit.
What do you think of it? I would be glad to help the association all I could.

BELLEVILLE, October 26, 1892.
To the Members of the C. P. A.:

GENTLEMEN,—I regret that I am unable to furnish my regular monthly
report, as I was obliged to bundle up in boxes all my stamp papers and books to
enable my landlord to make some alterations and I cannot find the C.P.A. books
at the present moment. I will include two months in my next report.

The Exchange Superintendent and I have agreed to allow our grants from
the C. P. A. to lie in abeyance until the creditors of the Exchange Department
under Mr. Grenny’s management have been all paid, and it is proposed to divide
all the funds in hand amongst the creditors pro rata. In order to secure a fair
division I would all creditors of the Old Exchange Dept. to forward their claims
Pee ebesicent.ot the (GPA Major HE. F. Wurtele, Quebec, before 30th. Nov,
on which date the dividend will be sent to the various claimants. It is hoped
that the members of the Society will see that we are trying to meet our just
obligations and that they will help us to increase the membership, and if any are
in arrears, will they kindly send in their dues at once.

Rie HORONTO’ PHILATELIC CLUB.

The following letter was circulated among collectors here :

DEAR SIR,—It has been suggested that some initiative steps be taken towards
establishing in the City of Torontoa Philatelic Association, and with that in view
we take this means of bringing the matter before you for your careful consideration.
Montreal, Quebec, St. John, Halifax, and other Canadian cities are a long way
in advance of Toronto in this respect, each of them having, we understand, an
active and thriving association,where the various postage stamp collectors of the
respective places are able to discuss the affairs of the philatelic world and be of
considerable service to each other in the way of exchanging stamps and increas-
ing an interest in philately.

Here in Toronto there are known to be about thirty active collectors (some
of whom might be termed “advanced collectors”), and there are no doubt others

136 THE DOMINION PHILATELIST.

who, were the opportunity afforded, would gladly make themselves known and
join with others in forming a strong local association.

It is not considered necessary for the purposes of our own that members
should belong to the Canadian Philatelic or any other association, so that all who
are interested in postage stamp collecting are cordially invited to aid in under-
taking to form an association here.

In addition to the many benefits that will be derived from such an organization,
it is proposed at intervals to hold auction sales, such as have been so successful
in other cities, as a means of disposing of collections and individual stamps. The
annual fee (if any ) will, it is hoped, be very nominal indeed, and the undersigned,
in view of the above and the long absence of any organization of the kind in our
midst, solicit your co-operation,

Mr. George Lowe has kindly placed at the disposal of the Association, which
it is proposed to call “ The Toronto Philatelic Club,” his well-appointed and con-
venient office at No. 346 Spadina Avenue.

The first meeting for the purpose of formation, and election of officers, etc.,

who will draft a constitution and statutes and submit same at next meeting, they
will also confer and offer suggestions as to Exchange Department, Library, etc.

and, after tendering a vote of thanks to Mr. G. A. Lowe for the use of office, the
meeting adjourned until Wednesday evening, the 19th October, when a stamp

SOMETHING NESW.

The Cosmopolitan Stamp Album.

This album is placed before the Philatelic public as an entirely new venture. It
can be used either for Postage or Revenue Stamps, or for both. The pages are ruled in per-
fect squares 36 to the square inch; herein lies its superiority. The idea is original with the
publisher. All advanced collectors have found ordinary albums with printed spaces of little
use; such albums do not provide for shades, watermarks, perforations, «¢ , and exp2rience has
shown that albums with blank pages are more desirable. Lt has also been found very difficult
to arrange stamps evenly and artistically in the ordinary blankalbum. The ruling solves this
difficulty and even the inexperienced can arrange stamps evenly and in many beautiful designs
without any trouble.

These albums are being copyrigbted in Canada and the U. S.

They are printed on one side only, on 6 ply card-board 11x14 inches and are bound 50
sheets in a book in fine leather binding and sell at $5.00 each. The cards will be supplied at
5 cts. each Sample card sent for 5 cts.

Do not buy an album till you have examined the Cosmopolitan.

It is bound to replace all others in the estimation of advanced collectors, and collectors of
Oddities, Original Covers, Revenues, &e. Published by

BVO): Vi: PETERBOROUGH, NOVEMBER, 1892. No. 47

GHROMIGEES OF NEW ISSUES, ETC.

Conducted by William C. Stone, Springfield, Mass., to whom all information
respecting new issues, etc., should be sent.

The figures in parenthesis after the names of the countries refer to the number of this paper containing the last
previous notice. Colors in italics represent the colors of the surcharges, All envelopes unless otherwise stated
are on white wove paper. All post cards unless otherwise stated are on buff cardboard.

ADHESIVES.

ANGRA.—Another new value of the same type as the rest of the set has been issued.
30 reis, yellow green.

BeLcium.—In November last we published an item taken from the Hoviletic Review
which announced the fact that special stamps were to be provided for the purpose of
designating letters which the senders did not desire to have delivered on the Sabbath day.
Since that time numerous items have appeared in the papers concerning these stamps and
it now seems that the authorities have had prepared two values, the 10 and 25 centimes
of the current series, bearing below the stamp a small perforated label inscribed in two
lines in French and Flemish, “Ne pas livrer le dimanche ——-— Niet bestellen op Zondag.”
‘Not to be delivered on Sunday ” is the translation of the above. Whether these stamps
have yet been put into actual use we cannot state.

Benin.—The French colonies are getting tired of waiting for those special stamps
which were promised so long ago and are surcharging the current colonial stamps. ‘This
latest addition to our albums has overprinted four values with ‘“ BENIN ” in large block
letters, and then has manufactured three provisionals by adding a new numeral of value
on the 15 cent. 5 centimes, green, J/ack ; 10 centimes, violet, d/ack ; 15 centimes, blues
black ; 25 centimes, rose, 4/ack ; 40 on 15 ¢. blue, d/ack and red, (1500); 75 on 15 c. blue,
black and red, (600); 75 on 15 c. blue, A/ack, (100). The numeral on the first two provisionals
is in red, while the last has it in black. We are unable at present to give a detailed
account of this colony but will do so later. It is situated in Upper Guinea to the east of
Dahomey.

BRaZIL, U. s. oFr.—Another new value of the Southern Cross series was issued August
I. 500 reis, olive green. Some of our exchanges have chronicled the 200 reis with the
surcharge ‘“‘ Rep. Transandina ” which they say were issued for use in the state of Matto
Grosso. ‘The report is or was that this state had seceeded from the republic and set up a
separate government but we are inclined to doubt the issue of the stamps. This state is
the second in size in the republic and has a population of about 3c,ooo, mostly Indians.
The area is about twice that of Texas. There was a rumor of trouble there some months
since but it was soon quieted we believe.

British NortH Borneo.—The London Philatelist has information that the 5 cent
stamp has been surcharged ‘‘ 1 cent” in red.

Buicaria.—The American Journal of Philately has the current 15 stotinki perforate
11% instead of 13.

138 THE DOMINION PHILATELIST.

Cryton.—The Zondon Philatelist is informed that the authorities took special pains
to see that no “freaks” were printed when the 3 cent provisionals were manufactured:
Those which are in the market are frauds.

Conco Free Starr.—M. Moens says that the 5 francs listed last month is not yet in
use, the stock of the previous issue not being sold out. It has not been surcharged for
postal packets as has been announced.

Fiy1.—The 4 penny stamp is reported to have been surcharged “5d.” in black. 5
pence on 4 p., violet, d/ack. Philatelic Record is informed that a permanent stamp of this
new value is in preparation and the design will be a canoe.

Funcuat.—The 80 reis value has been issued for this district as well as for those of
the Azores. 80 reis, yellow vant

Great Brirain.—The 4% penny described in our last chronicle was issued September
20th according to the Monthly Journa/and the 15th according to the London Philatelist
and Le Timbre Poste. 4% penny, red and green.

GRENADA.—The 8 penny stamp has been overprinted “Surcharge Postage ,, in two
lines of small Roman capitals with ‘‘1d” or “2d” in large type above. These are presum-

ably for use as unpaid letter stamps. 1 penny on 8 p., brown, A/ack ; 2 penny on 8 p.,
brown, d/ack.

IcELAND.—After a rest of some ten years this isle comes to the front again with two
high value stamps of the same design as the rest of the series. 50 ore, blue and carmine-
100 ore, brown and lilac.

Horta.—The 80 reis of the new set is in use it is reported. 80 reis, yellow green.

LapuaNn.—It seems that these stamps are not yet to disappear from our albums. An
entirely new set has been issued, the old plates being utilized. The paper is now unwater-
marked. 2 cents, carmine ; 6 cents, green; 8 cents, purple ; 10 cents, brown; 12 cents,
blue ; 16 cents, gray ; 40 cents, amber. The shades of several of the above are said to
vary somewhat from those of the previous issue.

Liser1a.—To meet the needs of the government officials, we suppose, the entire cur.
rent set has been surcharged with the word “ Official” in minute capital letters, carefully
placed so as not to disfigure the design. 1 cent, vermilion, d/ack ; 2 cent, blue, black; 4;
cent, green and black, ved ; 6 cent, green, d/ack ; 8 cent, brown and black, ved; 12 cent,
rose, black ; 16 cent, lilac, d/ack ; 24 cent, green on yellow, 4/ack ; 32 cent, blue green, black ;
$1, blue and black, d/ack ; $2, brown on yellow, dZack ; $5, black and red, zed.

Macao.—The surcharge fiend is getting in his work here again. Two of the 1888 issue
have been surcharged “ Jornacs” in Roman capitals across the top of the stamp with “23”
over the figures in the lower corners. 214 on 40 reis, brown, 4/ack; 2% on 8o reis, gray,
black.

New CaLeponta.—The diagonal surcharge “ New Caledonie” has been applied to the
following stamps of the current Colonial issue and to two values of the previous one. 5
centimes, green, //ack; 10 centimes, black on violet, d/ack; 15 centimes, blue, back; 20

in a straight line. ‘The following are reported by M. Moens. 4 centimes, violet; 20

overlooked them last month. 15 reis, chocolate ; 20 reis, pale lilac.

Roumania.—The 2 bani, green, unpaid letter stamp is said to have been issued on
watermarked paper. 2 bani, green.

Russta.—The London Philatelist reports the 35 kopecs with the thunderbolts. 35
kopecs, lilac and green.

SHANGHAI.—Fifteen hundred specimens of the 5 cent stamp on white paper, perforate
15, were surcharged recently with “2 Cts.” and three Chinese characters. 2 cents on 5
cents, pink, d/we. The London Philatelist is informed by Whitfield King & Co. of the
issue of a new 2 cent stamp of the current type, but on thick white wove paper, water-
marked with ‘‘a large T standing on a square shaped figure composed on two sides of
pemallellines;’ Perf..12. ‘2 cents, brown.

SALVapor.—The stamps of 1893 will bear the portrait of President Charles Ezeta, we
are informed in the Philatelic Journal of America.

San Martino.—In addition to the provisionals listed last month there is another one
reported. This time it is the 20 cent with new numerals of value printed over the old.
Only 40,000 were issued (September 9,) and these were soon bought up by local speculators.
10 On 20 cent, vermilion, dZack.

SANTANDER.—The American Journal of Philately illustrates a new stamp for this
department. Arms in double circle inscribed ‘‘Departamente de Santander Correos.”

140 THE DOMINION PHILATELIST.

‘Republica de Colombia” in straight line at top, “ Centavos” at bottom, numerals in lower
angles. Perforate 13. 5 centavos, red on pink.

SuRtNAM.—The provisionals noted by us last month are probably all right. We there-
fore list them together with one other which we learn of from the Fost Office. 2% cent,
black and yellow; 1 on 2% cent, rose, d/ack; 2% on 50 cent, orange, lack,

TonGcA.—While awaiting the new issue the color of the 6 penny has been changed. So
writes a correspondent of the Post Office. 6 pence, orange. The surcharged 1 penny
exists with both two and three stars according to the same paper. The new stamps are
quite likely in use by this time as the plates were completed when the August number of
Vindin’s Philatelic Monthly was issued. ‘The 1 and 4 penny stamps will have the Tonga
arms in a shield in an oval in the center with “ Buleaga e lega” above, and “ Postage ” at
the bottom. At the top of the stamp is “Tonga” with a numeral of value before and after
it. At the very bottom of the stamp is “ Penie taka.” On the 4 penny the last inscription
is “Peni e fa.” The other values have portrait of King George in place of the arms. ‘The
value on the 2 penny is “‘ Peni e ua,” on the 8 penny “ Peni e valu,” and on the 1 shilling,
* Silinit e taha.”

TRANSVAL.”—The London Philatelist has received a 5 pound stamp of the
same design as the current type, the value being expressed ‘‘ Vijf Pnd Stg.” 5 pounds
dark green.

Urucuay.—The new 10 cent stamp is illustrated by M. Moens. It is of the same size
as the recently issued stamps and has in the center a full length figure of a very scantily
robed young man with wings, who is holding out at full length a scroll inscribed “Republica
O. del Uruguay.” At the top of the stamp is “‘ Correos ” and at the bottom ‘“‘ Centesimos”
in straight lines. At the night of the central figure is a shield bearing the national coat of
arms, at the left, the numeral of value. Perforate 15. 10 centesimos, orange,

ENVELOPES
BAHAMAS.— The envelope chronicled last month is of the same design as that of the

Leeward Islands.

Great Brirary.—A new postal ruling permitting the sending of circulars in unsealed
envelopes at a %4 penny rate has been the means of inflicting more of the ready made
stuff on the market. The die used for the private post cards ( embossed head in oval) has

been made use of and is printed in vermilion. % penny, vermilion.

curved scroll the value in words. They are printed in blue and beautifully

shaded. They are three inches long, one and one-quarter inches wide, perforated

of Gas Meters, certifying to their correctness and represent the fee charged.
These stamps are two inches long and three-quarters of an inch wide, perforated,
and may be described: Color, bright blue; across the centre is a blank space in
which the registered number is printed in red, I may here add that in each
value the registered number seems to be printed with different type of various
sizes. Above the registered number we have the word “Gas” and below “ In-
spection.” The upper part of the stamp is occupied by a crown surmounted by
an irregular frame; in the centre of the lower part is an oblong frame in which
is the value in figures, surrounded by engravings similar to that seen on bank
Hotes around the values. Lhere are nine values, 5c., 25c., 50c., $1, $1.50, $2.00,
$3.00, $4.00 and $10.00. They were issued in 1876.

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES STAMPS.—These stamps are of the same, per-
foration and designs, as the Gas Stamps, with the following changes: “ weights
Mitte admeve the blank Space in the centre and “measures” below. The
registered number is printed in both red and blue, and at top of stamp as well
as in centre. The first of these stamps was issued in 1870, and was of the des-
cription given above, except in the place where all the others have the value
printed this stamp has a blank space. This is by far the rarest Canadian
Revenue Stamp, and not one used specimen is known to exist, and fortunate
indeed is the collector who possesses an unused one. They were used on
certificates of the correctness of scales used in bonded warehouses, and these
certificates were forwarded to Ottawa and afterwards destroyed. All the others
were issued in 1876, and consisted of eleven values, Ic., 2c,, 5c., IOc., I5c., 20c.,
Bee.) 506, 61.00, 51.50, $2.00. The Ic. and 2c., were issued for a time printed‘in
blue, but they are now uniform in color with the other values being printed in
black. These stamps are used on certificates issued by the inspector certifying
to the correctness of scales and measures he has tested.

GUMMED PAPEB—WHAT & COLLECTOR SAYS.

4 he perforated hinge is a fraud, and the rouletted hinge is a snare.

“The writer, after an active experience in the stamp line for over twenty years, can state

confidently that Mekeel’s gummed paper is the acme of perfection, and able to satisty the tastes
of the most fastidious.”--CANADENSIS in MWekeel’s Weekly Stamp News.
Collectors, as a rule, favor the perforated gummed hinge until they have used it ; afterwards
they discover its disadvantages, and prefer to cut their own, suited to the size of the stamp.
Our guinmed paper is made purposely for us, and consists of the best linen, onion-skin paper.
and gummed with the pure gum Arabic, which does not discolor the stamp. Collectors should
always receive their supply from us. Prices as follows, post free: 4 sheets, 10c.; 10 sheets,
25c.; 25 sheets, 50c.; 60 sheets, $1; 100 sheets, $1.50.

146 THE DOMINION PHILATELIST.
WORLD’S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION.

In view of the contemplated new issue of stamps by the United States
Government, to commemorate the Four Hundredth Anniversary of the Discovery
of America, by Christopher Columbus, a few words bearing upon the Exposition
may not be out of place ina Stamp Journal, having in a measure an indirect
connection with the subject by virtue of the proposed issue and which can be
taken as direct if the suggestions made are finally carried out.

The following Proclamation was issued on the 24th Day of December 1890,

PROCLAMATION OF THE PRESIDENT.

‘Whereas, satisfactory proof has been presented to me that provision has
been made for adequate grounds and buildings for the uses of the World’s
Columbian Exposition, and that a sum not less than ten million dollars to be used
and expended for the purpose of said Exposition has been provided in accordance
with the conditions and requirements of Section ten of an Act entitled ‘An Act
to provide for Celebrating the Four Hundredth Anniversary of the Discovery of
America by Christopher Columbus by holding an International Exhibition of
Arts, Industries, Manufactures, and the Products of the Soil, Mine and Sea, in
the City of Chicago, in the State of Illinois.” Approved April twenty-fifth,
eighteen hundred and ninety.

Now, therefore, I, Benjamin Harrison, President of the United States, by
virtue of the authority vested in me by said Act, do hereby declare and proclaim
that such International Exhibition will be opened on the first day of May, in the
year eighteen hundred and ninety-three, in the City of Chicago, in the State of
Illinois, and will not be closed until the last Thursday in October of the same
year. And inthe name of the Government, and of the people of the United
States, I do hereby invite all the nations of the earth to take part in the com-

Bargains in West Indies Stamps at Wholesale.

memoration of an event that is pre-eminent in human history, and of lasting
interest to mankind, by appointing representatives thereto, and sending such
exhibits to the World’s Columbian Exposition as will most fitly and fully illustrate
their resources, their industries and their progress in civilization.”

The Four Hundredth Anniversary of the Discovery of America will in
consequence be fittingly commemorated by authority of the Congress of the
United States by the International Exhibition of Arts, Industries, Manufactures |
and the Products of the Soil, Mine, and Sea, in the City of Chicago.

The site selected is at Jackson Park, a beautiful location near the southern
limits of the City, adjoining Lake Michigan.

The Latin American Department is divided into five groups as follows :—
Period of the Discovery, Period of the Conquest, The Colonial Period, Period of
the Present and Commercial. Each of the above is sub-divided into several parts.

The proposed issue of Stamps. to be kept in circulation for one year only
(1893) will prove of much interest to collectors and will no doubt serve to
illustrate the events in the Life of Columbus. In addition to Philatelists they
will prove a novelty to the general public and serve in a measure, as it were, as
a recruiting ground for the increase in the ranks of Collectors.

VaniEeTies OF PAPER.

Postage Stamps appear on a variety of papers; we give here a description of
them: Wove paper is of perfectly plain and even texture, such as that of the
pages of this magazine. Lazd paper shows a series of Jines close together, usual-
ly with other lines an inch or more apart crossing them; what is known as
Ptream laid ™ or “bine laid,” writing paper is of this nature. Other kinds of
paper have been used in certain cases; such as that which is commonly known as
“foreign note paper.” This is a thin paper watermarked with very plain lines as
wide apart as those of ordinary ruled paper; for this we generally use the French
term datonne. The spaces between these lines may be either plain (wove) or
filled with lines as in laid paper, and the paper is accordingly termed “ wove
batonne,” or “laid batonne,” as the case may be.

Similar thin papers may be found watermarked with cross lines, forming small
squares, or oblongs ; these are known to stamp-collectors as guadrille. It is well
also to remember, when using French catalogues, that the words datonne and
quadrille are applied to papers ruled with parallel lines, or with crossed lines, as
well as to those watermarked in the manner described above; in English books
these words are only applied to the latter kinds of paper.

Another kind of paper, upon which a few varieties of stamps have been print-
ed , is known as felure. This is a very thin paper, usually greyish in colour ;
about the thickness of tissue paper, but much harder and tougher, tissue paper
being generally as soft as blotting paper,

There are other varieties of paper used for stamps, which differ in other re-
spects, and which equally require description. First among these is the paper
with silk threads in it, commonly known as “ Dickinson” paper from the name
of its inventor. This paper was used for the Mulready letter-sheets and en-

148 THE DOMINION PHILATELIST.

velopes; for the embossed letter-sheets and envelopes which succeeded them, for
the octagonal ten pence and shilling stamps of Great Britain, and also for the
early issues of Bavaria, Schleswig, Holstein, Switzerland, Wurtemberg, the first
envelopes of Prussia, &c. Its pecularity consists in its having a continuous thread
of silk in its substance, the thread being embedded in the soft pulp during the
manufacture of the paper. This paper must not be confounded with the silk
thread paper upon which some of the United States revenue stamps and bank
notes have been printed; the latter has fragments of silk (?) fibre distributed
irregularly in its substance, having somewhat the appearance of the coloured
threads in granite or silurian papers.

A so called granite paper has been used for some of the current Swiss stamps;
it is an almost white paper with coloured fibres in it, hardly distinguishable in the
stamps without the use of a magnifying glass, but a sheet of the paper would
probably appear to be tinted with grey. It is very different however to the
writing papers known as sz/urzan, which are tinted grey or reddish throughout, in
addition to having the coloured fibres in them.

Repfp paper has lines in it somewhat resembling in appearance those in /azd
paper, but it is really of a different nature altogether, the lines being on the
surface and not in the substance of the paper. Lazd paper may be quite smooth,
but if the lines are perceptible on the surface, as is sometimes the case, it will be
found that a ridge on one side corresponds with a ridge on the other, and a furrow
with a furrow, there being alternate lines of thick and thin substance. In rep,
on the other hand, the surface is always rough, and a ridge on one side of the
paper will be found to correspond with a furrow on the other ; there is no difference
in the substance, and it is, I believe, really wove paper milled between ridged
rollers. Corrugated iron roofing is an extreme variety of vepp /

Some of the 7zdded papers, such as that upon which the 1-2d, and 3d of Can-
ada have been found, are, I fancy, of this nature. The post card of Travancore
is also chronicled upon a thick vefp paper, but I have not seen it.

The early issues of Cashmere are printed upon what is known as za¢7ve-made
paper. This isa peculiar yellowish or greyish paper, sometimes having almost
the appearance and feel of parchment. It usually has very perceptible, but
irregular /a7d lines in it; but there are wove varieties of it also, or, at all events,
some specimens that show no trace of the /azd@ lines. — Notes from Stanley Gibbon's

ON Thursday evening the 17th instant the following gentlemen met at the
residence of Mr. J. S. O’Meara and after looking into the advisability of organizing
a Philatelic Society in Quebec, decided they would doso. Those present being:—
Messrs. Montefiore Joseph, E. H. Sewell, B. B. Carter, C. A. Bishop, J. S. O’Meara
and Ernest F. Wurtele.

Mr. J. S. O'Meara was elected Secretary, pro tem, and will call for another
meeting on Wednesday the 7th of December, at which will be presented a draft
of a constitution and By-laws, to suit our case. The election of Officers will also

Too much space is taken up by most Philatelic Papers in publishing Reviews.
We are of the opinion that this space could more profitably filled with some good
solid stamp news.

Look out for the December number of this Journal as it will be of special
interest. Among many other attractions will be portraits and biographical
sketches of a half dozen leading Canadian Philatelists, and among them the
President and Secretary of the C. P. A. It will also contain the catalogue of
Clark’s Auction Sale of a beautiful collection of British Colonial Stamps. Ifyou
are not already a subscriber send along your 50 cents and we will send you the
December number and give you a year’s subscription besides.

H. F. KETCHESON, PETERBOROUGH, ONT.

“ BETWEEN 700 and 1,000 letters containing a large amount of money were
stolen from the post office at Charlottetown, P. E. 1., during the past year. All
efforts to catch the thief were unsuccessful. During the summer all the clerks
in town were off on holidays except one, the messenger boy, Charles J. Mitchell.
As the stealing continued without interruption young Mitchell was charged with
the crime, and finally confessed upon receiving a guarantee from the Dominion
Post Office Inspector Sweetman that he would not be prosecuted. The letters
stolen were from young men and women in Boston and other parts of New
England to their parents, and to Canadian and American publishers, all supposed
to contain money. The thefts were first discovered through the large number
of duplicate post office orders called for. An extraordinary feature of the case
is that Mitchell was never in the office alone, and all his thieving was done under
the eyes of the other clerks.” The above, clipped from the daily Evzpzre, will, we
know, be of interest to many of our readers; we lost several valuable letters
going and coming from P. E.I., and know of several other Philatelists who
suffered similarly. Mitchell was also a collector, and no doubt some of his ill
gotten gain was spent for stamps.

Mr. T. S. CLARK intends holding his 4th Auction Sale about the end of
January. It will consist almost entirely of British Colonials and is rich in stamps
of the Leeward Islands. Amongst the rarities to be sold are the following. —
Nevis 2% C. A. on /azd paper, Montserrat 4d blue c. a., Virgin Islands 4d on 1
shilling wsed, 1 shilling, no border and many other rarities. The Catalogue will
appear in December number of Dominion Philatelist.

THE Toronto Philatelic Club are prospering. Meetings are held every two
weeks and an auction sale held at each meeting.

THE DOMINION PHILATELIST. 151

WHILE stamp collecting is followed as a pastime by most of its votaries
dealers and publishers do not find it such pleasant and easy work, and are some-
times glad of an opportunity to get away from stamps for a season and to have
change and rest. Such were the feelings that prompted the Editor of this
journal and the Secretary-Treasurer of the C. P. A. to flee from civilization, and
spend a few weeks in that sportsman’s paradise, the northern woods and lakes of
Canada. Four days after leaving home we arrived at the end of our journey,
after having ridden for miles over almost impassible roads, up steep and rocky
hills and into dark swamps, over corduroy and through mud, and then 30 miles
of paddling in a birch bark canoe. After all the trip was a very enjoyable one;
the pure and bracing air, and the tramping for miles through the forest we found
most beneficial, and we returned laden with game and accompanied by a
ravishing appetite.

THERE is much kicking among the P. S. of C. members over the choice of
official organ. The following item is taken from Canadian notes in Pennsylvania
Philatelist: The officers of the Philatelic Society of Canada have selected the
Stamp of New York, as official organ fro tem, a move which is contrary to the
majority of the members, who claim that the honor is due to one of the Canadian
journals, as would become a national society,

THE 53rd edition of the Scott Stamp and Coin Co’s catalogue is now out and
is quite an improvement over the last edition. There is a general advance in
price all along the line’ The only fault we have to find with it is, that too little
attention has been paid to B. N. A. stamps. No collector can afford to be with-
Gutacopy. Erice 50 cents.

_ WE have been favored with a priced catalogue of S. R. Bradt Co’s. 8th auction
sale, and a glance at the prices obtained satisfies us that they are making a success
of auction sales. The 510 lots brought a total of $662.15,

THE Philatelic Tribune stated that before its next issue reached its readers
Harrison would again be President of the U.S. The 7yzdune evidently intends
to suspend publication.

prominent collector has removed from Belleville to Toronto where he will reside

in future.

PoeoRer U.S: STAMP.

Being a specialist in the stamps of the United States, when I make the
acquaintance of a collector, I usually ask: “How are your U.S?” I find most
American collectors have a good showing in the stamps of this country. As a
rule my second question is: Have you the three cents pink of 1861?” Most
collectors say they have but when I see their collections I find they have not.
Some of the many shades of the 3c rose they have, but not the pink.

If the experience of an enthusiastic collector is worth anything, mine proves
that this isa very scarcestamp. Shades of rose there are plenty. I have thirteen
in my collection and do not doubt there are more to be had. But there is only
one pink, Anyone who ever sees the stamp will know it at once for what it Is

152 THE DOMINION PHILATELIST.

and that there is no other exactly like it. It is not a shade at all but a distinct
color, bright, clear, with a tint of lilac, the pink of artists and dyers.

That it is rare, I am sure, from the very limited number I have seen. I had
a damaged specimen in my possession for a number of years and sent it all over
thecountry todealers and collectors but none of the.n could match it used or unused.

But “all things come round to him who waits” and one day the pink turned
up, where least expected, near at home. Among the papers of a lawyer at
National City, Cal., some one found a few of these stamps in the long-sought
color, unused, original gum and fine in every way. Fortunately for Philately the
finder did not use them on his correspondence but sold them to San Francisco
dealers. Among these stamps were two blocks of twelve, each bearing the imprint
“Engraved by the National Bank Note Company, City of New York, No. 12
Plate.” I am happy to say one cf these blocks now adorns my collection. It is
strange that the same plate number appears on both blocks and gives rise to the
query, was the 3c pink printed only from plate 12 ?

The number of stamps in this find was small and the most of them were soon
sold. Iconsider the stamp as priced in the catalogues altogether to low, especially
as I have not previously been able to get one, either used or unused, from any one
I have addressed. This is the only instance in which I have seen the true pink,
never before or since have I seen a solitary red brown and 5c yellow, but aside
from this lot, zot one pink. I consider this stamp easily worth $5.00 unused and
am ready for contradiction from anyone who can prove the contrary.

Collectors of U. S. stamps must have noticed the almost entite absence of this
stamp from auction catalogues. If anyone has any further information about it,

or comment to make on what I have said, I hope they will let us hear from them.

TORONTO NOTES.

PRESIDENT Brouse of the Toronto Philatelic club has promised to exhibit
his magnificent collection of B. N. A. Stamps at the next meeting of the club.

QUITE a sensation was caused in the local Post Office here a few days ago by
Postmaster Patterson announcing to his staff that orders had been received from
Ottawa, that all who were members of any political organization must resign at
once from the same or leave the employ of the P. O. Departmemt. The clerks
consider this a great hardship and many friends may interest themselves in their
behalf and hope to have the order recinded.

A few months ago a shop was opened here for the sale of stamps, coins and
curiosities and was known as “The Old Curiosity Shop”; business must have
been bad as it has closed its doors.

Mr. GEo. A. LOWE exhibited at the last club meeting a strip of three N. S.
one pennys used which he held at the modest price of $20; they were beauties.

Mr. C. S. McKEE formerly of Peterborough, who is here attending Medical
College was present at the last meeting of the club.

sOMETRING NEW.
‘The Cosmopolitan Stamp Album.

‘This album is placed before the Philatelic public as an entirely new venture. It
can be used either for Postage or Revenue Stamps, or for both. The pages are ruled in per-
fect squares 36 to the square inch; herein lies its superiority. The idea is original with the
ublisher. All advanced collectors have found ordinary albums with printed spaces of little
use; such albums do not provide for shades, watermarks, perforations, «c., and experience has
shown that albums with blank pages are more desirable. It has also been found very difficult
to arrange stamps evenly and artistically in the ordinary blankalbum. The ruling solves this
difficulty and even the inexperienced can arrange stamps evenly and in many beautiful designs
without any trouble.

hese albums are being copyrighted in Canada and the U. 8.

_ ‘They are printed on one side only, on 6 ply card-board 11x14 inches and are bound 50
ets in a book in fine leather binding and sell at $5.00 each. The cards will be supplied at
s.each Sample card sent for 5 ots.

Do not buy an album till you have examined the Cosmopolitan.

Cash with order,

On my approval sheets the best varieties are to be
found, as we receive many small lots of fine and desir-
able stamps, the quantity not being sufficient to
advertise, and we place them on our sheets, and to —
speak truthfully they don’t remain there very long as
they are suapped up by collectors searching for bargains.
Tf you want to be one of these fortunate persons, send
us a good reference, state the size of your collection,
what kind of stamps you want, and a choice selection
will be sent. No penny trade wanted, ouly collectors
who appreciate good selections and have the ability to
purchase good stamps. I allow 334 per cent disconnt
on ordinary sheets, others according to their value.
My specialties are North, Central and South America,
and my stock is very complete in these countries. My ~
new set and packet list will be ready about December
10, and will be mailed to all applying. It is full of
bargains, and prices over 450 sets and packets.

About January 1, 1893, I will publish a complete,
illustrated catalogue of the stamps of North, Central
and South America, which will be the most complete
thing in its line ever issued. It will be of convenient
size to carry in the coat pocket and bound in flexible
cloth. .Price 25c. post free.

respecting new issues, etc., should be sent.

The figures in parenthesis after the names of the countries refer to the number of this paper containing the last
previous notice. Colors in italics represent the colors of the surcharges. All envelopes unless otherwise stated
are on white wove paper. All post cards unless otherwise stated are on buff cardboard.

ADHESIVES.

ANGRA.—We are informed by J. V. de Freitas that the following values are also in
use, as well as those previously listed by us: 15 reis, brown ; 20 reis, pale lilac.

Anjouan.—The J/ustrirte Briefmarken Zeitung chronicles some of the new French
Colonial stamps, but we are not certain whether they are all in use yet. This new colony
is one of the Comoro islands. The stamps are of the same type for all the colonies and
have already been described, so we will omit any further notice, but will try and illustrate
them next month. They are perforate 14:13 %. 1 centime, black and red on blue ; 2
centimes, brown and blue on yellowish ; 4 centimes, violet and blue on bluish ; 5 centimes,
green and red on greenish ; to centimes, black and blue on lilac ; 15 centimes, blue and
red on white ; 20 centimes, red and blue on green; 25 centimes, black and red on rose;
30 centimes, brown and blue on browish ; 40 centimes, red and blue on yellowish ; 50
centimes, carmine and blue on rose; 75 centimes, black and red on yellow; 1 franc,
greenish gray and red on yellowish.

ARGENTINE.—The new stamps are in use and we hope next month to be able to
present cuts of the designs. Those of 5 centavos and under have a portrait of Rivadavia
to left with “Republica Argentina,” ‘“Centavos ” below in two lines and numerals in the
lower corners. From ro to 50 centavos the portrait is that of Bulgrano within a laurel
wreath, with name of country above and numerals in small shield below, with “centavos”
on each side of the shield. The peso values will contain the portrait of San Martin in a
general's uniform. These three last stamps were not to be ready much before the rst of
November. ‘The stamps are all the work of the South American Bank Note Co., and
are printed on paper watermarked with a sun. Perforate 1144. 4 centavo, blue; 1
centavo, brown; 2 centavos, green; 5 centavos, carmine; 10 Centavos, rose; 12
centavos, blue ; 16 centavos, grey ; 24 centavos, grey brown ; 50 centavos, blue green ;
1 peso, dark carmine; 2 pesos, dark green; 5 pesos, dark blue. ‘Two stamps were
issued October 12, in commemoration of the discovery of America by Columbus. From
the official notice we learn that they wil! show the fleet just approaching the land. They
will bear the inscriptions “12 Octobre, 1492,” and “12 Octobre, 1892,” besides the usual
lettering. 2 centavos, blue; 5 centavos, blue. The decree states that the impression
will be made in blue ink of two different shades. Whether this means each will have two
shades, or that the values will be so distinguished, we cannot say.

GUMMED PAPEB—-WHAT & COLLECTOR SAYS,

1 he perforated hinge is a fraud, and the rouletted hinge is a snare.

“ The writer, after an active experience in the stamp line for over twenty years, can state

confidently that Mekeel’s gummed paper is the acme of perfection, and able to satisfy the tastes
of the most fastidious.”--CANADENSIS in Mekeel’s Weekly Stamp News.
Collectors, as a rule, favor the perforated gummed hinge until they have used it ; afterwards
they discover its disadvantages, and prefer to cut their own, suited to the size of the stamp.
Our gummed paper is made purposely for us, and consists of the best linen, onion-skin paper,
and gummed with the pure gum Arabic, which does not discolor the stamp. Collectors should
always receive their supply from us, Prices as follows, post free: 4 sheets, I0c.; Io sheets,

PAPER MAKING.

The principal materials employed are linen and cotton rags, of all kinds and
colours. The colour is of little consequence, as all the pulp is bleached before
being used; but no wool is admissible; in fact, all the material is of vegetable
origin. Old corduroy trousers and worn-out sails are some of the most valuable
ingredients! The ragsare first boiled with soda and lime, to get rid of actual
dirt and grease, and are then put into a vat, in the middle of which a heavy cast-
iron roller, with steel bars on its surface, revolves at a very high speed upon a
plate also furnished with steel ridges. This draws the fibres out, while a constant
stream of fresh water flows through the vat, so that, as the rags are gradually re-
duced to finer and finer fragments, they are also further washed, The grinding
being completed, the pulp thus produced is soaked in a bleaching solution, from
which it issues in a snowy-white condition, forming a marked contrast to the
boiled rags seen in the early stage. It is then pressed, to extract the bleaching
liquor, and is now ready for conversion into paper.

Besides the rags, which are the principal ingredient, very large quantities of
Esparto grass are used. Some of this is imported from Spain, and some from
Oran and Tripoli, on the coast of Africa. The grass is boiled with caustic soda,
after which the treatment is the same as in the case of the rags; it is washed
pulped, and bleached, and is then ready for admixture with the rag-pulp or
“half-stuff.” The black liquor from the Esparto boiling is burnt off in an in-
cinerator, the result being carbonate of soda, which, mixed with fresh lime, pro-

The Cosmopolitan Stamp Album.

This album is placed before the Philatelic public as an entirely new venture. It
can be used either for Postage or Revenue Stamps, or for both. The pages are ruled in per-
fect squares 36 to the square inch; herein lies its superiority. The idea is original with the
publisher. All advanced collectors have found ordinary albums with printed spaces of little
use; such albums do not provide for shades, watermarks, perforations, &c., and experience has
shown that albums with blank pages are more desirable. It has also been found very difficult
to arrange stamps evenly and artistically in the ordinary blank album. The ruling solves this
difficulty and even the inexperienced can arrange stamps evenly and in many beautiful designs
without any trouble.

These albums are being copyrighted in Canada and the U. S.

They are printed on one side only, on 6 ply card-board 11x14 inches and are bound 50
sheets in a book in fine leather binding and sell at $5.00 cach. The cards will be supplied at
5 cts. each Sample card sent for 5 cts.

Do not buy an album till you have examined the Cosmopolitan.

duces caustic soda again, This at the same time prevents pollution of the river,
and affords a valuable by-product.

I gathered that the compressed pulp is not stored long, but is made into
Paper as fast as it can be produced. For this purpose it is placed in beater vats,
which grind it up more finely still, and any colouring matter that may be re-
quired is now added. At the time of my visit a fine white paper was being
made, and I was surprised to see first a red and a blue tint put into the pulp to
obtain the desired shade. Had no colouring matter been added, I was informed
that the paper would have been what is termed zatural colour, and would have
had a distinct yellow tint.

The pulp being now beaten very fine, is mixed with more water and let down
into large vats, from whence it flows in a gentle stream, through strainer plates,
on to a wide, endless cloth of very fine wire gauze, stretched upon horizontal
rollers, which keeps it constantly moving along at a regular rate. At the same
time a shaking motion is imparted to this part of the machine, which causes the
particles of pulp to be evenly distributed over the gauze cloth, and thus makes
the paper of even substance throughout. At each side a narrow band of india-
rubber, revolving upon two wheels, and resting upon the wide wire cloth, confines
the stream of pulp within the required limits, and the width of the paper to be
made is regulated by means of these bands; they are technically known as
“deckles,” hence the term “ deckle” edge, applied to the rough edge of the paper
before it has been trimmed, the uneveness being due, no doubt, in part to the soft
material of which the deckle bands are made, and in part to the shaking motion
of the machine.

It has, I think, usually been understood by philatelists that a “deckle’
was a sure sign of a hand-made paper; but this is by no means the case, for the
process I am endeavouring to describe is that of machine paper-making, in, I be-
lieve, its most advanced form.

On passing the “deckles,” which only extend for a short distance along the
wire gauze, the pulp is found in the condition of very wet, soft, blotting paper; it
now passes under a roller, which, from our point of view, performs one of the
most important parts of the whole manufacture, It is this roller that, in machine-
made paper, determines the nature of the paper—wove, laid, guadrille, batonne,
&c.—and produces the watermark; the wire gauze cloth, upon which the pulp is
spread, and the paper formed, being exactly the same for all. The paper that I
saw being made was wove ; consequently the “ dandy-roll,” as the roller alluded
to is technically termed, was covered with fine wire gauze, similar to the cloth
upon which the pulp rested. On the dandy-roll were raised letters of metal or
wire, embossed (if [ may so term it) upon the wire gauze. As the roller revolves
upon the soft pulp, the latter is pressed smooth and even between the two
surfaces of wire gauze ; but where the raised letters occur these are pressed into
the pulp, and, by displacing the particles where they press, leave the outlines of
the letters actually thinner in substance than the rest of the paper. In some
cases the particles of pulp thus displaced make the portions of the paper enclos-
ed within the outlines of the designs thicker than the surrounding parts, and thus
we may find opaque letters or figures, with a transparent outline, on a ground
less opaque than the inside of the letters or figures. This effect may be seen in

the words and figures watermarked in our Postal Orders. The large figures,
which form the watermarks of the first adhesive stamps of Russia, appear to be
formed somewhat in this manner. They do not, however, possess the transparent
outline, but were probably produced by means of figures sunk in the roller, thus
simply giving thick figures upon a rather less thick ground. They are the most
difficult watermarks to detect that I am acquainted with.

As the pulp is carried along upon the wire gauze, and gradually grows, as it
were, into paper the water is escaping through the meshes ; but after it has passed
the dandy rol! more active steps are taken for drying it. A little further on—in
the machine that I examined—a suction pipe passed under the gauze, and its
effect was very plainly visible, the water showing clearly on the surface of the
pulp up to a certain line, while all beyond this looked simply like rather damp
bletting paper—which it practically was. A little further still the wire cloth
passes over the roller which supports that end of it, and here the pulp, or paper,
as it now may be called, quits the foundation upon which it has been formed, and
passes unto a roller covered with felt a few inches away. Hence it goes over,
under, and between a series of these felt-covered rollers, and large iron cylinders
heated by steam, by means of which it is dried, and it issues at the other end as
actual paper, but being unsized, it is blotting-paper. The size is applied by
means of a roller, revolving in a trough filled with the material, and the paper,
having been dried again on the hot cylinders, and passed between heavy steel
rollers to give it a surface, is ready for use.

__ There are two methods of sizing paper; one termed engine, and the other machine
SIZ1Ing.
i the first case the size is put into the beater engine, or vat, and the paper is dried
once for all at the machine ; in the second, part of the size only is put into the beater, and
then when the paper is dried, as I have described above, the dried paper passes through
rollers, which are supplied with animal size, and then has to be dried a second time.

The paper is thus made in a practically never-ending strip, which wound up
in rolls of any length required, and is either used in these rolls, as is usually the
case in printing a newspaper, or is cut to the desired size by a guillotine cutter,

The large rolls, as they came from the machine, were passed under revolving
cutters, which removed the “ deckle” edges (these are boiled down and used over
again for pulp,) and cut the paper into strips of the required width; and I was
informed that some four and a half miles of paper, in one continuous strip, were
not infrequently wound in a single roll.

In the manufacture of /azd paper a dandy-roll is used which, in place of being
covered with wire gauze, has a surface of longitudinal wires with spaces the
width of a wire between them; these are kept in position by rings of wire at
regular intervals, the roller having the appearance of a cylindrical cage, with the
wires set very close together. It will easily be understood that the longitudinal
wires form the close lines in the paper, and the rings the lines which cross them,
For datonne paper the dandy-roll would have thick longitudinal wires a certain
distance apart, with the spaces between filled wire gauze for wove batonne, and
thinner longitudinal wires for Jazd batonne; and for quadrille a network, of crossed
wires of equal thickness, would be employed.

As I have already stated, the process described above is that of making paper
by machinery; for hand-made paper—as it is termed, to distinguish it from

eggs cia

THE DOMINION PHILATELIST. 165

machine-made—the pulp is prepared in the same manner, but the paper is made
by dipping a mould, consisting of a frame, or shallow sieve, of fine wire gauze into
the vat, and taking up a certain quantity of pulp upon the mould. The latter is
then held horizontally, and gently shaken until the pulp is evenly distributed
over its surface, and this shaking, together with the taking up of a proper quantity
of the pulp to form paper of the required thickness, are operations requiring a
great amount of skill, failing which the paper is liable to vary in texture, not only
in different sheets, but in different parts of the same sheet. For /azd, or any
other nature of paper with a design watermarked in it, a mould is used having
the required pattern worked in wire or metal upon the gauze; the watermark
being thus produced by the wire cloth upon which the pulp rests, instead of by
pressure upon its upper surface, as with the dandy-roll used in paper-making by
machinery. The result is of course the same in both cases, the pattern being
shown in lines of thinner, and therefore more transparent, substance.

When the pulp has set sufficiently upon the mould, it is removed in a sheet,
pressed between layers of felt, dried, sized, and milled between steel rollers, as
in the case of machine-made.

Very fine paper is still made by hand, and there seems to be something in the
best hand-made paper where no machine has yet been able exactly to produce.
At the same time a well-constructed and a carefully-adjusted machine should
produce paper of a very even and regular quality, and with the watermarks al-
ways equally visible. To produce this result, the puip must be of exactly the
Same consistency, and its flows, and the rate of working of the machine, must be
very carefully regulated ; but, this being so, we should expect to find a paper, if
not of the very highest class, at all events of exactly even thickness and density
throughout.

It is not, however, possible to adjust matters to exactly the same nicety day
after day, and every now and again the head machine-man takes a sample of the
paper and weighs it in scales prepared for this purpose, as a very little variation
in the ‘‘ stuff” will cause the weight to err on one side or the other, and it is most
important to ensure the paper being neither so thick as to involve an unnecessary
consumption of material, nor so thin as to be unfit forits purpose. It can there-
fore be easily imagined that where equal care is not exercised, the results may
be irregular.

These irregular papers cause some of the great difficulties of students of water-
marks. Many of the early stamps were printed upon hand-made papers, and
even the best of these may vary sufficiently to give us trouble. A skilled work-
man can, no doubt, produce sheet after sheet of paper, all of which may be of the
quality required, but it will probably not be all exactly alike. And, as a matter
of fact, we find that watermarked papers which should be identically the same,
differ in some cases very considerably. There is very littie doubt that instances
do occur in which a watermark is plainly visible in one portion of a sheet, and is
almost, if not quite, invisible in another part of the same sheet; and there is no
doubt whatever that one portion of the same piece of paper may be plainly /azd,
and another apparently wove. This result, I suspect, is due either to the pulp
being unevenly distributed, so that the dandy-roll (in machine-made paper) does
not press evenly upon it, or to its not being fully se¢ throughout when the paper

166 THE DOMINION PHILATELIST.

is pressed afterwards, and thus the Zaid lines, or other devices, are obliterated in
the soft pulp.

I have devoted a good deal of space to the subject of paper-making, as it is
not only interesting in itself, apart altogether from Stamp-Collecting, but it is
also a subject which we Stamp-Collectors must try to understand something
about, in order that we may be able to distinguish the various papers with which
we have to deal. :

ARGENTINE CENTENNIAL STAMPS.

The General Post Office was the scene of the most scandalous outrages on
Wednesday on the occasion of the sale of postage stamps to commenorate the
4th centenary of America’s discovery. The crowds from early morning were
enormous and the facilities offered by the Post Office were of the most scant
character. It is needless to say that no decent being could approach near
enough to post a letter. The scrimmages in the crowd were of the ordinary
nature in such cases, and we are sorry to have to state that the police thought it
their duty to bully and chastise in the most brutal fashion those who endeavour-
ed to push their way into the office where stamps were sold, which were only
meted out in lots of five and ten which necessiated each individual, bent upon
having more, to return to the charge again and again. It seems to us that if the
Post Office was determined upon having a special issue of stamps for a special
occasion, it ought to have made the necessary arrangements to supply any de-
mand and facilitate places where they could have been conveniently acquired,
without running the risk of being ill-treated and carried into the Comzsarza as a
yapa, We have heard it said, that the special issue of stamps had for a main
object, a nice little zegoczo for some favorities, and it eertainly looks as if the
general public were not expected to purchase them.

Early on foot on Wednesday the whole population seemed moving to the
different centress of attraction : some to see to troops arrive, but a dense body to
possess themselves of the beautiful Postage Stamps issued by the Govern-
ment, to serve for that day only. Owing to a want of foresight however, it was
only after a sharp and lengthened struggle that they could be obtained, and the
majority of those who went to purchase were satisfied to be mulcted of 3, 4 or 5
dollars in exchange for a 2 or 5 cents stamp. The Postmen. poor fellows, reap-
ed a rich harvest and for once made a good business. The action of the Post
Office authorities in this matter is not creditable to them. Yesterday they re-
fused to part with more than five stamps to each individual of the general pub-
lic, and yet their favorities have been supplied with sheets containing a hundred,
which will shortly be put on the market at enormous prices.—TZimes of Argentina.

THE centenary stamp issued by the Argentine Post Office on the 12th, and.

printed by the S. American Bank Note Company, is an artistic gem in design,
colour and execution. We have rarely seen a more exquisite stamp. The
special obliterating stamp used by the P. O. here on the three days’ celebration
was a clumsy, ugly affair, but still it was much sought after, and every morning
the P. O. was crowded with persons getting postage stamps marked with it.
Some persons even had large sheets of stamps arranged for obliteration without
any intention of using them for postal purposes. The P. O. must have made
quite a little income out of the occasion—“ Montevideo Times.”
